Jamal Yunos arrested

(The Star) – Police arrested red shirt rally organiser Datuk Jamal Yunos on Friday night.

Kuala Lumpur CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Zainuddin Ahmad confirmed the arrest.

“We arrested him under Section 105 of the Criminal Procedure Code to prevent a crime from occurring over his alleged statements that riots would occur in Petaling Street,” he told The Star Online.

It is learnt that Jamal, the Sungei Besar Umno division chief, was detained at 9pm Friday and is being held at the Dang Wangi police station.

Earlier in the day, Deputy IGP Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim said police would summoned Jamal to Dang Wangi to record a statement over the rally at Petaling Street on Saturday.

Noor Rashid reportedly said police would not compromise with anybody trying to organise the rally and would take a firm action.
