PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli, Kita Lawan coordinator Fariz Musa and activist Hishamuddin Rais have reportedly been released.

 

According to the party, the trio were released on police bail today and are headed for Dang Wangi police station.

 

Over the weekend, Rafizi was arrested and remanded for three days over the rally calling for jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim’s freedom.

 

Fariz and Hishamuddin were also detained over the weekend over Saturday’s rally held in conjunction with the wedding reception of Prime Minister Najib Razak’s daughter at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).

Rafizi’s release comes after the police raided PKR’s headquarters in Petaling Jaya yesterday and seized computers and documents related to the rally.

 

Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali today condemned the police raid as “gross abuse” and called on the authorities to stop the “intimidation” of opposition politicians.
