Nurul Izzah's arrest a new low for Malaysia - MIC Youth

“The arrest broke the camel back for me,” he said in a press statement today.

He said the police have unleashed world condemnation by arresting Nurul Izzah for a speech in Parliament on the Sedition Act.

“A MP should not be arrest while speaking in Parliament or on the way to Parliament. He or she enjoys immunity against any action under any laws, otherwise what is the purpose of having a parliament in the first place,” he said.

“The arrest is reprehensible and a disgrace to Malaysia especially in this era of freedom and free expression,” he added.

“The arrest also damages our global crusade for moderation. The father has been sent to jail, now the daughter too. Who’s next!,” Sivarraajh said.

Earlier today, Nurul Izzah's lawyer R. Sivarasa accused the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar of lying to the public and creating false impression over her arrest.

He also said Khalid’s statement last night on her arrest and remand was malicious and illegal.

The Lembah Pantai member of Parliament had voluntarily went to IPD Dang Wangi yesterday at 2pm to have two statements recorded – one on the #KitaLawan rally and the other was related to the sedition investigation on her speech in Parliament last week.

In her speech, Nurul Izzah had questioned the country's judiciary over her father's sodomy conviction.
