Police will soon arrest participants who turned violent in last Saturday’s rally, based on pictures taken and recordings made by several quarters obtained by them.
Bukit Aman Crime Investigation Department director Mohd Bakri Zinin said police would release the pictures of those who attacked the police and members of the public, as well as caused damage to property during the rally.
“We have their pictures and we will release them to the media and the public soon to track them down,” he told reporters at the Bukit Aman police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.
In last Saturday’s rally, participants at the rally had not only breached police barricades to enter Dataran Merdeka, but also a court order that prohibited the public from being in the area between April 28 and May 1.
The order was issued following a decision by Kuala Lumpur City Hall not to allow Dataran Merdeka to be used a venue for the gathering organised by non-governmental organisation Bersih 2.0 and supported by the opposition.
The organiser was instead offered other places, including Merdeka Stadium, but it was turned down.
Yesterday, Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohmad Salleh said police had detained a man in Negri Sembilan to assist investigations into an incident during the rally.
