Anything But Umno (ABU) founder Haris Ibrahim, PAS member Tamrin Ghafar and PKR vice-president Tian Chua have been re-arrested under the Sedition Act four days after they were released from police detention.

The fourth person detained was student activist Safwan Anang who is Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia president.

Apart from Tian Chua, the others were arrested at about 7pm and taken to the Dang Wangi district police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

“The police are recording their statements now. They were arrested in pursuant of an arrest warrant,” said lawyer Gobind Singh when contacted.

According to Tian Chua’s Twitter administrator, the Batu MP was detained at 9.15pm.

Sources stated that they are expecting all four to be charged at the Jalan Duta Court Complex tomorrow.

Haris, Tian Chua and Tamrin were arrested five days ago and detained in Jinjang for calling the people to topple the BN government through street demonstrations.

Haris had made the call during a May 13 forum as a way to express their dissatisfaction over the GE13 results.

A day later, the trio were freed after magistrate Norashikin Sahat rejected the police’s remand application.
