Sisters in Islam (SIS), Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) and Komuniti Muslim Universal (KMU Malaysia) raise serious concerns about the arrest of Siti Nuramira Abdullah following her act at the Crackhouse Comedy Club in Taman Tun Dr Ismail by enforcement officers from the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department (Jawi) who waited for her at the Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex in Jalan Duta.

The arrest felt more like a witch hunt given that the arrest happened as soon as she was released on bail for her charge under Section 298A of the Penal Code.
