Police allow ‘Free Anwar’ rally
Following a meeting with PKR leaders, the police have allowed Anwar’s supporters to gather at the court complex parking lot on Monday.
(Free Malaysia Today) – In an apparent U-turn from its earlier stance, the police have allowed the “901 Free Anwar” rally on Jan 9 at the Jalan Duta court complex.
“After our discussions this morning, the police have granted us permission to gather at the parking lot,” Pakatan Rakyat (PKR) Youth Chief Shamsul Iskandar Amin told reporters outside the KL police headquarters.
This was after a meeting between KL police chief DCP Mohmad Salleh and PKR deputy president Azmin Ali, vice-president N Surendran, strategic director Rafizi Ramli and Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin for about one and a half hours here.
“We have discussed the agenda for Monday, we reached a consensus and in the spirit of the new Peaceful Assembly Act, we will make sure everything goes on smoothly on that day,” said Mohmad in a joint press conference with Azmin.
Meanwhile, Azmin said that more details would be revealed at a press conference at 3.30pm at the PKR headquarters.
