ALOR SETAR: Police have re-arrested activist Tamim Dahri Abdul Razak after his two-day remand ended on Monday (July 20).
Tamim Dahri was previously detained in Port Dickson.
Langkawi police chief ACP Khairul Azhar Nuruddin said the 33-year-old was re-arrested by the Langkawi district police headquarters (IPD) Criminal Investigation Division in connection with a case being investigated under Section 295 of the Penal Code.
“The suspect was arrested on July 18 at the Port Dickson IPD to assist investigations under Section 506 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, before being remanded for two days from July 19 to 20.
“Immediately after the remand period ended, the suspect was re-arrested in connection with a police report lodged in Kuah. He will be charged at the Langkawi Magistrate’s Court on July 21,” he said in a statement.
Tamim Dahri, who was alleged to have fled overseas in connection with a Facebook criminal intimidation case, surrendered at the Port Dickson IPD on Saturday (July 18).
Investigations into the activist began after police received a report from an Indian man on March 10 alleging that he had been threatened by the suspect on Facebook.
Meanwhile, Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said investigations found that the suspect spent more than four months in Thailand before returning to Malaysia through an illegal route at the Kelantan border. – Bernama
