Seri Setia assemblyman, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad released on police bail

PKR Youth chief Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad who was detained at his home in Denai Alam, Shah Alam around 10am Sunday was released at 2am, this morning.

Nik Nazmi who was detained at Jinjang police station, was released on police bail, after taking his statement.

The matter was confirmed by Nik Nazmi on his Twitter account, early this morning.

PKR had informed of his arrest in a statement, last night.

The Selangor state exco was first brought to Dang Wangi police station. PKR Communication director, Fahmi Fadzil later had tweeted confirming that Nik Nazmi was brought to Jinjang police station.

Nik Nazmi was detained for participating in the #KitaLawan rally in front of Sogo on Saturday.

The rally supporting Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was held in solidarity for his release.

The Federal Court on February 10 dismissed Anwar's final appeal against his conviction and jail sentence for sodomising his former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan at Unit 11-5-1 Kondominium Desa Damansara, Jalan Setiakasih in Bukit Damansara, between 3.10 pm and 4.30 pm on June 26, 2008.

Chief Justice Tun Arifin Zakaria, who led a five-member panel, delivered the judgement and upheld the five-year jail term imposed by the Court of Appeal on March 7, last year.
