KUALA LUMPUR, May 3 (Bernama) -- Police have identified 49 individuals,
including a woman, believed to be involved in turning last Saturday''s rally in
Dataran Merdeka into riots.
City police chief Datuk Mohmad Salleh said all of them were high on the
police wanted list for committing violence acting against policemen and
civilians during the rally.
"The photographs of the 49 suspects will be made public through the media,"
he told reporters here today.
Last Saturday, the rally participants had not only breached police
barricades to enter Dataran Merdeka, but also a court order which prohibited the
public from being in the area between April 28 and May 1.
Mohmad said all suspects would be investigated under Section 143 and 188 of
the Penal Code for rioting and vandalising public property.
Two days ago, police arrested a man in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan for the
same offence.
