Anti-ISA gathering disrupted by pro-ISA (UMNO) group

BANGI: An anti-Internal Security Act gathering was disrupted when a pro-ISA group turned up in droves to hand over a memorandum against a pig farming project in Malacca.

The group, Pewaris, wanted to hand over the memorandum to Opposition leaders who were speaking at the event, namely PAS president Datuk Seri Hadi Awang.

Led by its secretary Rahimuddin Mohd Harun, the group were blocked by FRU personnel who were on standby. Five Pewaris representatives were later allowed to enter the premises and handed the memorandum to PAS vice-president Mohamad Sabu and PAS Youth chief and Kubang Kerian MP Salahuddin Ayub.

Last night’s anti-ISA gathering was held to launch Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI)’s big rally in March.

Hadi Awang described the ISA as anti-Islam, as it was not a fair law.

“In Islam, the legal process and its implementation must be fair. The Government cannot detain anyone without questioning them, including armed rebels,” he said.

Mohamad Sabu in his speech said supporters should not give the police any reason to fire tear gas at them.
