Anwar to be probed for seditious remarks during 2011 rally

PETALING JAYA: De facto Pakatan Rakyat leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is the latest among a growing number politicians and activists who are hauled up for alleged sedition.

In a short statement released by PKR, it was learned that Anwar will be questioned at the party's headquarters by officers from the Ampang Police District Headquarters (IPD Ampang) on September 26 at 3pm.

He is being probed under Section 4 of the Sedition Act for remarks made in a speech during a political rally in Gombak in 2011.

Anwar's lawyer PKR vice-president and Padang Serai MP N. Surendran, who himself is facing two Sedition charges, will be accompanying Anwar during the questioning.
