Barricades greet anti-ISA vigils, at least 30 arrested
- 9 years ago
Riot police have barred activists from holding candlelight vigils to commemorate the Internal Security Act's 50th anniversary in eight places around the country.
At Dataran MBPJ, Padang Timur in Petaling Jaya, Selangor - which saw the earliest vigil begin at 8pm - members of the Light Strike Force (LSF) began dispersing the 300-strong crowd just as the latter began signing Negaraku.
Police officers were also seen chasing some protestors out of the Dataran amid the activists' shouts of "Hidup, hidup! Hidup rakyat!", as other personnel formed a line to block more protestors from entering the square.
