PJ Vigil Week 14 - An Act Of Intimidation and Violation Of Human Rights.

8.15pm - Opening speech by delCapo follows by James. Soon after James took over the mic, received a phone call that there's a batallion of police and FRU heading towards the vigil ground. The message were conveyed to delCapo and then to James where he announces to the vigilers.



8.20pm - Just then, down the horizon emerge the battalion of police marching towards the crowd. Soon the vigilers were surrounded by the police (trap between the building entrance and the police). Should there's an arrest, there's no where anyone could escape. The officer in-charge announce thru a loud hailer that this assembly is illegal and gave us 5 min to disperse or else risk arrest. Some vigilers took the police advice and left while most stayed. Sing Negaraku and disperse within the 5 min timeframe.




8.26pm - The last of the two vigilers started to leave ground zero. By 8.30pm what's remains were the whole of the police force and FRUs stood guard.



8.35pm - The police officers dismissed and started leaving ground zero, heading toward Jalan Yong Shook Lin before turning left for PJ Police Station. Kudos to Selangor CPO for the job well done in dispersing peaceful vigilers.(Exactly two month ago on the 9th November 2008 incident, 23 were arrested within this vicinity where police brutality were witness by the whole county, click the URl to view. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLs3ZlKqh5U ). Must have been the most hardworking CPO in Malaysia.



8.36pm - The battalion of police (which out numbered the vigiler by at least 2:1 ratio) marches back to PJ Police station just a stone throw away. At 9.15pm three raiders still stood guard at T-junction along Jalan Yong Shook Lin leading to Dewan Sivik, probably worry that the vigilers might regroup again.
