PKR vice-president Tian Chua,
social activist Haris Ibrahim and PAS member Tamrin Gaffar have been
rearrested, just four days after they were released by a magistrate
after remand for an earlier arrest was denied.
A post on Tian Chua's Twitter account reads; "Tian Chua has just been arrested. #admin".
A
later post said Tian Chua would be taken to the Dang Wangi police
station, and about eight policemen were present during his arrest.
However, there are currently no further details on his arrest.
Student activist Safwan Anang, was also arrested earlier.
Lawyer
and Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo who is acting for Haris - Anything But
Umno (ABU) leader - confirmed that they were arrested at about 7pm.
"They are now in the Dang Wangi district police headquarters. They have been rearrested under the Sedition Act.
"We don't really know much about the situation and we are going there now," he said when contacted.
Both
Haris and Tamrin, together with PKR vice-president Tian Chua were
arrested last Thursday for investigations under the Penal Code and
Sedition Act.
However, all three of them were released the next day when the magistrate rejected the remand application by the police.
All of them previously spoke at a May 13 Forum at the Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall.
