PKR Youth deputy head Khairul Anuar Ahmad Zainuddin has chosen not to respond to police questioning on the Bersih 2.0 rally, saying he will give his replies in court if he is charged.

NONE Khairul (right) , called in for questioning for wearing the yellow Bersih 2.0 T-shirt, is being investigated under Section 47 of the 1966 Societies Act for displaying the logo of an outlawed organisation.

He went to the Jalan Travers police station about 1pm yesterday, accompanied by supporters and Youth leaders.

He had been arrested on June 23 while lodging a police report on a text-message threatening Bersih 2.0 chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan.

 

Khairul told Malaysiakini that the police had focused their questions on the rally, rather than on the T-shirt, but that he had kept quiet as it was his right not to respond.

He said he would give an explanation when taken to court.

Youth deputy information chief Rozan Azen Mat Rasip is also being investigated for the same alleged offence.

The police have arrested more than 250 people, including opposition politicians and activists, in connection with the Bersih rally - most of them for alleged possession of Bersih 2.0 paraphernalia.

Bersih material still illegal

Just before the rally, Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein declared all pro-Bersih 2.0 materials as illegal and that action would be taken against those found wearing or in possession of these.

He had declared Bersih 2.0 an illegal organisation, accusing it of inciting people to create unrest.

Last weekend Seputeh MP Teresa Kok’s aide Teh Hoong Keat and three of his friends were arrested in Cameron Highlands after they were found wearing Bersih 2.0 T-shirts in their hotel room .

They were realised a few hours later after giving their statements to the police.
