PKR: Police teargas action at KL Sentral 'criminal act'

PKR has accused the police of launching an "unprovoked and brutal attack" on peaceful Bersih marchers in the Kuala Lumpur Sentral underpass.

The party's vice president N Surendran said that the victims of this attack included Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim and his spouse Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, DAP strongman Lim Kit Siang, and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.

Surendran added that Bersih 2.0 chief S. Ambiga and national laureate A Samad Said were also among those who were attacked.

"As our entirely peaceful group entered the underpass, we were confronted by a line of FRU (federal reserve unit) personnel armed with tear gas guns," he said in a statement today.

"PKR vice-chief and Batu MP Tian Chua then walked towards the police line to negotiate," he added.

"However, the police immediately responded by shouting, hitting their shields with their truncheons and pointing tear gas guns at us," he stressed.

Surendren said the police action was "calculated to kill, maim and injure the peaceful marchers" as the firing of tear gas into the confined space of the underpass was a criminal act.

The action could also have causeed serious injury and death, and as such is punishable under Section 326 of the Penal Code.
