The coverage of the event follows:
11.15am: Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman - The police finally allow businesses here to resume operations.
The police, which initially cordoned off the area, now allow workers into business premises.
However, only workers on foot and motorcycles are allowed to enter.
This road leads to the Sogo shopping mall which was the original venue of the #TangkapAzamBaki protest.
However, protesters have relocated to the Bangsar LRT after the cops obtained a court order banning demonstrations in the area.
More than 100 people had been waiting to enter the area since 9am, some to work while others to shop.
11.13am: PKR Youth leader Ahmad Syukri Razab calls for the crowd to start marching away from the Bangsar LRT station.
Marshals from the organisers are seen coordinating the crowd.
Several red Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) trucks are seen on standby. The police watch as the crowd begins to move.
11am: Some 100 protesters clad in black have gathered below the Bangsar LRT station by Menara UOA.
A group of police officers clad in bright yellow police jackets approached the protest coordinators.
They asked for the coordinators' personal information but did not obstruct the protest.
They left after recording their information.
In the past, cops have hauled up protest leaders only after the protest ends to avoid escalations.
One of the activists at the protest Mandeep Singh starts to lead protesters to chant "Tangkap Tangkap Azam Baki" (Arrest Azam Baki).
The protesters are beginning to fill into the main road on Jalan Bangsar. - Mkini
