Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani vowed to take stern action against any "stubborn" quarters that either organise or join in a protest.
This came after Sekretariat Solidariti Rakyat (SSR) threatened to hold a second #Lawan street rally on Aug 21 if Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin doesn't resign by then.
Without naming the group, Acryl Sani (above) said police are aware of SSR's plan and warned that this violates National Recovery Plan SOPs, and risks public health amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
"Police ask for the public not to join any activities against the laws and SOPs in effect.
"For the sake of public health, police will not compromise with any quarters who are still stubbornly organising or joining any protests and will take stern action," the top cop said in a statement today.
SSR organised the first #Lawan rally on July 31, where hundreds of people were estimated to have turned up to demand Muhyiddin's resignation.
Following the event, police proceeded to question the organisers as well as protest participants.
Officers even showed up at the homes of several activists.
Police have further summoned a lawyer who was part of the Bar Council’s protest monitoring team. - Mkini
