PETALING JAYA: Azrul Mohd Khalib, the initiator of the Citizens’ Declaration, has been summoned to the Petaling Jaya District Police Headquarters today to be investigated for sedition.

Lawyers for Liberty’s Melissa Sasidaran, who was with Azrul at the time, told FMT that Azrul was being investigated under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act for an online petition that he set up on Change.org, calling for the removal of Najib Razak as Prime Minister.

She added that Azrul’s hand phone and laptop were confiscated to facilitate investigations into the case.

According to Melissa, eight individuals – including Azrul – will be investigated under the same Act.

Melissa said she was unable to reveal the names of the individuals but that they consisted of bloggers, news editors and journalists.

PKR Deputy Youth Chief Dr Afif Bahardin took to Twitter to express his disappointment, saying that the investigation was proof that Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar and Najib were trying to be the Rakyat’s enemies.

Bar Council National Young Lawyers Committee Chairman Syahredzan Johan also expressed his sentiments on Twitter, labelling the investigation as “outrageous.”
