For the second straight night the Brickfields police have arrested people who had gathered to show support for activist Wong Chin Huat who was arrested under the Sedition Act on Wednesday.
And just like last night, 14 people were arrested again today for allegedly participating in an illegal assembly. And about two hours later, six others were also taken in, including lawyers who had come to assist those arrested earlier.
The 14 - nine men and five women - included PKR Youth movement exco member Ginnie Lim, KLSCAH Youth chief Ng Chong Soon, journalist The Yi Keong, PKR party worker Chua Yee Ling and several student activists.
The arrested lawyers were Fadiah, Syuhaini Safwan, Puspawati Rosman, Ravinder Singh and Murnie Hidayah Anuar. They are all from the Bar Council's legal aid centre.
All six were arrested for illegal gathering.
