The 67-year-old ‘Auntie Bersih’ and 31 other activists who were arrested in front of Parliament yesterday were released early this morning.
The sexagenarian activist, whose real name is Annie Ooi (right), and other social and student activists had been detained for more than 12 hours at the police’s detention centre in Jinjang.
Among those that were released include Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) chief Badrul Hisham Shaharin, or Chegubard, and student activists Adam Adli Abdul Halim, Muhammad Sadwan Anang and Ekhsan Bukharee.
Human rights group Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) executive director E Nalini said they were freed in stages beginning at 12am today. All were freed by 2.15am.
However, Nalini said it remains unclear whether they would be charged.
“The police have not informed us whether they intend to press charges,” she told Malaysiakini when contacted.

Annie Ooi – a senior citizen who rose to fame following an iconic photograph of her during the Bersih 2.0 rally – was the voice of reason at the solidarity vigil at the Jinjang police lock-up last night.
In a short speech, Ooi who has since gained the monicker Auntie Bersih, urged the participants calmly disperse if the police come to break up the gathering.
