PKR vice-president and Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar is seeking to bring Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar over what she deemed her “unlawful” arrest on Monday.
The daughter of jailed Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim confirmed to The Malay Mail Online today that she would file the lawsuit in the next two weeks.
On Monday, Nurul Izzah presented herself at the Dang Wangi police station to provide a statement on her participation in March 7’s #KitaLawan rally. At 2.30pm, she was arrested on suspicion of uttering seditious remarks during the opening debate of Parliament, in which she questioned the constitutionality of the verdict and prison sentence handed to her father.
She was detained overnight at the Jinjang police station, and was released on bail yesterday afternoon.
