FORTY-FOUR Rohingyas were detained by police today for holding an illegal gathering in front of the Tabung Haji (TH) building in Jalan Tun Razak in Kuala Lumpur.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Amar Singh Ishar Singh said they were detained for trying to create provocation when police ordered them to disperse.
He said more than 1,000 Rohingyas had gathered since 8am to march to the Myanmar embassy in Jalan Ampang Hilir to hand over a memorandum protesting against the atrocities and killing of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.
Members of the group are believed to have come from all over Malaysia by bus, with the travel arrangement made by the Rohingya themselves, to hand over the memorandum.
"However, after handing over the memorandum, they still gathered around and some acted aggressively, forcing the Federal Reserve Unit to detain them,” said Amar Singh when met at the TH building.
“The Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 does not allow foreigners to hold any protest demonstration or gathering in this country,” he added.
The Rohingya gathering, which only dispersed at 12.30pm, had caused a traffic jam in Jalan Tun Razak. – Bernama, August 30, 2017.
