The man who printed and sold the T-shirts worn by protesters at the new year's eve anti-price hike Turun rally was arrested when he went to the Serdang police headquarters to give a statement today.

His friend Wong Kar Fai said Mohd Zul Raidy Ahmad Tarmizi ( right ) was arrested under Section 124(D) of the Penal Code.

This section deals with printing and sales of documents and publications detrimental to parliamentary democracy, and carries a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment upon conviction.

Mohd Zul Raidy arrived at the police headquarters at about 7pm  today and was arrested about 30 minutes later.

"Police immediately arrested him," Wong said.

Previously, human rights watchdog Suaram had criticised the police for embarking on a frivolous pursuit against Zul Raidy, especially since the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 was applied.
 
According to Suaram, the police also visited the home of Zul Raidy's parents in Taiping, Perak on Dec 30, 2013 with the intention to arrest him. He was not there at the time.
 
The police had reportedly raided Zul Raidy's rented home in Seri Kembangan and confiscated T-shirts that he made.

Zul Raidy was released at about 9.30pm.
