KUALA LUMPUR: Police arrested 29 people – including Bersih members and Parti Keadilan Rakyat and PAS leaders – at Parliament yesterday when they showed up to submit a memorandum to protest against the Constitution (Amendment) Bill to extend Election Commission members’ retirement age from 65 to 66.
Federal CID Deputy Director I Acryl Sani said they were arrested for going against a court order prohibiting them from “taking part in the illegal gathering, refusing to disperse and obstructing the police.”
