Syukri Ab Razab and Adam Adli, who were remanded for six days, were released after being detained for four days, at the conclusion of the court's review of their remand orders today.
The other activist, Mandeep Singh, was released in the middle of proceedings as his four-day remand expired this afternoon.
The three of them were investigated under Section 124B of the Penal Code, which is for activities that threaten parliamentary democracy.
They were represented by N. Surendran, Gobind Singh Deo, Latheefa Koya, and Michelle Yesudas.
All three of them were arrested just a day before the Saturday rally, after a press conference by organiser Demi Malaysia in which the rally details were announced.
Syukri and Adam Adli were arrested at the Dang Wangi police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, where they had gone to meet police to discuss details about the rally, and lawyers have said that police "misled" the duo into thinking that they would not be arrested.
Mandeep, meanwhile, had been arrested for allegedly being at the Dang Wangi police station to support the other two, when he had in fact been at another location.
A further 29 people were arrested during Saturday's rally, where police began rounding up protestors even before the demonstration began.
Twenty-eight of them were released yesterday after being detained for two days.
