Tian Chua, Haris Ibrahim dan Tamrin Ghafar ditahan...

Polis hari ini menahan MP Batu Tian Chua, akvtivis Haris Ibrahim dan aktivis PAS Tamrin Ghafar dalam operasi berasingan, dipercayai berhubung perhimpunan untuk membantah dakwaan penipuan pilihan raya pada Sabtu ini.

Tian Chua dalam tulisannya di Twitter hari ini menyebut, beliau ditahan sejurus sebelum melepasi pemeriksaan keselamatan di lapangan terbang LCCT kira-kira tengahari.

"Sekarang saya dibawa dalam kenderaan polis (menuju) Balai Polis Jinjang," katanya.

Menurutnya lagi, polis menahannya berhubung siasatan mengikut Akta Hasutan.

Sementara itu, pemimpin NGO Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) berkata, beliau juga sedang dicari polis.

"Di KL, baru dihubungi isteri, maklumkan sekumpulan polis datang mencari saya di rumah ibu di Seremban, saya mohon masa tiga minggu berunding macam (dengan penceroboh) Sulu," tulisnya di Twitter.

Sementara itu, setiausaha agung PSM S Arutchelvan dalam satu tulisan di Facebook pula berkata Haris, yang mengetuai NGO Asalkan Bukan Umno, ditahan oleh lima orang anggota polis ketika sedang makan tengahari di Segambut.

Haris pagi ini muncul di bangunan kompleks mahkamah Kuala Lumpur bagi menyatakan sokongan ke atas aktivis siswa Adam Adli Abdul Halim yang dituduh mengikut Akta Hasutan hari ini.

Beliau turut berucap dalam forum mengenai dakwaan penipuan pilihan raya di Dewan Perhimpunan Cina Kuala Lumpur dan Selangor pada 13 Mei lalu.

Sementara itu, peguam Malik Imtiaz Sarwar ketika dihubungi berkata Haris turut disiasat mengikut Akta Hasutan.

Beliau juga berkata, aktivis PAS, Tamrin Ghafar yang turut berucap di forum sama, juga ditahan pada hari ini dalam satu operasi polis di Bangsar. 

Katanya, Tamrin juga dibawa ke balai sama yang kini menempatkan Haris dan Tian.

Operasi berkenaan berlangsung walau jurucakap bagi penganjur perhimpunan, Badrul Hisham Shaharin telahpun menafikan bahawa ia bertujuan untuk menumbangkan kerajaan seperti 'Arab Spring' seperti yang didakwa pihak berkuasa.

Sebaliknya, perhimpuan di Petaling Jaya pada Sabtu ini adalah 'Festival Rakyat' untuk mengembalikan hak demokrasi kepada rakyat, katanya.

Gabungan 50 NGO yang menjadi penganjur acara berkenaan dijangka menampilkan bukti dan saksi mengenai dakwaan penipuan pilihan raya dijangka akan ditampilkan ladam perhimpunan berkenaan di padang berhampiran Amcorp Mall.

Antara yang dijangka mengambil bahagian dalam perhimpunan tersebut adalah NGO Suaram, Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia, Asalkan Bukan Umno, Tindak Malaysia, Parti Sosialis Malaysia dan Parti Rakyat Malaysia.-malaysiakini

Tian Chua, Haris Ibrahim and Tamrin arrested...

PKR vice-president Tian Chua as well as Anything But Umno (ABU) chief Haris Ibrahim, were arrested seperately this afternoon, believed to be in relation to a recent anti-electoral fraud forum in Kuala Lumpur.

They were later joined by former Batu Berendam MP and PAS member Tamrin Ghafar (right), who also spoke at the forum, after he, too, was arrested by the police in Bangsar this afternoon.

All three were taken to the Jinjang police station.

Tian Chua, via Twitter, said he was arrested at the low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) in Kuala Lumpur, just as he was about to pass security check.

He was catching a flight to Kuala Terengganu for the 'Blackout 505 rally' scheduled to be held there tonight.

The Batu MP claimed that he was informed he was being detained under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948.

When contacted by Malaysiakini, Tian Chua confirmed his arrest, but said he was unsure as to the reason behind it.He, however, believes it may be related to the Blackout 505 rallies, as he was the speaker in at least some of them, such as the first one on May 8 in Kelana Jaya.

Meanwhile, according to PSM secretary-general S Arulchelvan (right, in photo), Haris (centre) was picked up by five policemen as he was lunching with friends in Segambut, including Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia’s (SABM) Jayanath Appudurai.

Jayanath told Malaysiakini that the group was approached about noon by five police personnel.

“I overheard them saying something about the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH) and Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act.

“I believe the arrest was on the same grounds as that of Adam Adli Abdul Halim,” Jayanath said.

Haris was one of the speakers at the post-electoral forum, organised by Suara Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) that was held at KLSCAH on May 13.

It was during this forum that 23-year-old student activist Adam (left, in photo) made an allegedly seditious speech for which he arrested last Saturday and charged in court this morning.

In fact, Haris, who is also a lawyer, was present in court earlier today to show support for Adam.

However, it is unclear if Haris was arrested as a suspect for his own speech or as a witness to Adam’s speech.

Lawyer Malik Imtiaz Sarwar, who is at the police station, confirmed the arrest of Tamrin, who is the son of former Deputy Prime Minister Ghafar Baba.

"He is in front of me now," said Malik Imtiaz, who was, however, unsure as to the reason for the arrest. 

Meanwhile, PKR’s Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegubard, tweeted that a team of police officers had been to his mother’s home in Seremban, looking for him.

The prominent blogger too had been a speaker at the forum.- malaysiakini

Adam Adli claims trial to sedition charge...

Student activist Adam Adli Abdul Halim was charged with sedition in a Kuala Lumpur sessions court today by calling for the toppling of the elected government.

The 24-year-old claimed trial before sessions judge Norsharidah Awang.

Adam Adli was charged under Section 4(1)(b), which is punishable under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948.

According to the charge sheet, Adam made a seditious speech that has a tendency to incite Malaysians to change the government in any other manner except by legal means.

He was represented by Ambiga Sreenevasan and N Surendran, while the prosecution team was led by deputy public prosecutor Abarzafee Mohd Abbas.

The court set bail at RM5,000 on one surety and fixed July 2 for mention of the case.

The charge under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act carries a jail term of not less than three years or a maximum fine of RM5,000 or both.

The defence will file an application to strike out the case, citing selective prosecution and mala fide in the police investigation.-malaysiakini
