Police summon Chin Huat’s students

Two students who participated in a show of support for Wong Chin Huat, following his arrest for allegedly seditious comments, have been served with police notices.
"We feel that further interrogation is extremely peculiar and completely unnecessary as we had cooperated fully with the police and complied with the conditions which were agreed upon at that time," said Students of Chin-Huat Against Repression (SCAR) in an e-mailed statement today.
On 7 May 2009, SCAR organised a peaceful gathering in front of Monash University's Sunway Campus, which drew heavy police presence. The gathering was intended to show support for Wong, a political scientist and Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) spokesperson, after he was arrested under the Sedition Act, and detained, on 5 May.
The gathering, which consisted of around 30 former and current students of the academician, dispersed after 10 minutes due to police pressure.
