The police have been lambasted for arresting five people at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre before the start of Kugan Ananthan's funeral procession today.Hindraf chairperson P Waythamoorthy said the arrests revealed police suppression of the people's right to attend public gatherings.
"The actions of the police clearly show that they behave in a manner above the constitution," he said in a statement.
Petaling Jaya police chief Arjunaidi Mohamed said the five were arrested while people were gathering to take part in the funeral procession earlier today.
He added that three men - including Hindraf coordinator RS Thanendran - were arrested for wearing the Hindraf T-shirt. The government had banned the movement last October.
The other two were arrested for attempting to break a police cordon to enter the UMMC mortuary.
Responding to this, Waythamoorthy said that the police action in arresting the five was uncalled for.
tunku : police had issued warnings, so those 5 "cari penyakit". they deserved it.police had done a very good job as they had managed to control the crowd.as for waytha the coward who is leaving in london and flirting around, shut your stinking mouth.if you really cares, be brave enough to come back to malaysia.
