PETALING JAYA: Graphic artist Fahmi Reza (pic) has been released from police custody, two days after he was arrested for posting a caricature of a primate in yellow attire on social media.
“I have checked out of Hotel Dang Wangi! Two days and one night stay courtesy of Mojo Jojo!” he said in a Facebook post on Saturday (April 15).
He also posted his photo outside the Dang Wangi police district headquarters.
Federal CID director Comm Datuk Seri Abd Jalil Hasan had confirmed that an investigation into Fahmi had been initiated.
“The post angered many (social media users) who described it as extreme.
“Investigations are being conducted by the Bukit Aman CID Special Investigations Unit under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act,” Comm Abd Jalil said in a statement on Thursday (April 14).
