arrested for leafleting

poor ruben. arrested for leafleting. or just unlucky? others too were leafleting but he was targeted. from malaysiakini ‘jerit campaign cyclist arrested in kedah’:

L Ruben was arrested by the police at the village of Merbau Pulas, about 20km from Kulim, Kedah, for distributing leaflets to onlookers. He has been released on police bail said Chon Kai, the event’s northern region coordinator.

hey, not too long ago, i was also busy leafleting the anti-ISA vigil leaflets with two of my friends but nothing happened.

what’s this? there’s no freedom in our country? what was so wrong with distributing leaflets calling for a change? it was not that they were calling for an over-throwing of the government or attacking umno building! *sigh* this is our country for you – suka suka they arrest you.

see susan’s blog for post on this issue too with letter from suaram.
