KUALA LUMPUR: A group of Bersih supporters gathered in front of the Jinjang central lockup Sunday night to hold a vigil for Maria Chin Abdullah, who has been detained under the Special Offences (Security Measures) Act.
The candlelight vigil in solidarity with Maria and the activists still in detention, lasted for about three hours.
The gathered activists chanted, sang songs and delivered speeches.
Speakers included Nurul Izzah Anwar, Tony Pua, Datuk Seri Wan Azizah and other Opposition leaders, as well as Bersih committee member Mandeep Singh, who was himself released earlier Sunday evening along with several others who had been hauled up in relation to the rally.
The vigil ended peacefully at around 11.15pm.
