16 Burmese held at Pakatan bday bash for Suu Kyi

2345: 14 of them have been brought to the Kelana Jaya lock-up.

2334: Blog reader anony-mouse reports:

I had great piece of cake! Tian was at the police station too. Irene Fernandez was in a car that came by the station twice, but did not alight.

2228: Of the 16, three have been freed because they have documents. Five are undocumented; so if they dont get UNHCR registration pronto, they could be deported. The remaining are all registered with the UNHCR as refugees; so they should be all right.

2215: About 25 people are now gathered outside the police station. They are cutting a birthday cake for Aung San Suu Kyi.

2057: All the Burmese - 16 of them - are arrested and taken to the PJ police station.

2039: About 30 to 40 cops at the venue are asking to see the ICs of those gathering there. Ronnie Liu is trying to negotiate. The police want them to use a hall for the event and not at a public space.

2029: Roads leading to Taman Jaya and Amcorp Mall blocked by cops. Selangor Pakatan Rakyat is gathering to celebrate Aung San Suu Kyis 64th birthday.
