Non-governmental organisation Gerakan Merah has come to the defence of inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar over the arrest of PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli under the Official Secrets Act (OSA).
Its president Mohd Ali Baharom, who is also known as Ali Tinju, labelled the opposition which had questioned the arrest as "stupid and squid-brained".
“Khalid followed the country’s laws in the arrest of Rafizi.
“He is an IGP who has wide experience in the world of safety and is a law expert. The opposition, on the other hand, is stupid and squid-brained,” said Mohd Ali in a statement today.
He also urged members and supporters of Gerakan Merah to be with him in defending Khalid as the IGP.
Khalid, on Tuesday, confirmed Rafizi’s arrest under Section 8 of the OSA. Rafizi was arrested at the Parliament’s gates for exposing classified documents in relation to the Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT).
He was yesterday remanded for three days and is currently held at the Jinjang police lockup.
Opposition leaders have denounced the arrest and urged for his immediate release. -Mkini
