Police Open Probe Into Three Violations By Rally Organisers


KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 (Bernama) -- The police today opened an investigation into allegations that the organisers of yesterday's gathering at the Merdeka Stadium had violated three of the 27 conditions agreed to between them and the police.

Dang Wangi police chief ACP Zainuddin Ahmad said the alleged violations were bringing children under 15 to the rally; carrying placards, posters and banners with words of a seditious nature; and allowing the number of participants to exceed the agreed 30,000.

The police would call up several witnesses and study the footage of closed circuit television cameras (CCTV), he said when contacted by Bernama.

Zainuddin said the police would conduct an investigation into the alleged violations because the 27 conditions had been agreed to in accordance with Section 15 (1) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.
