Dr Badrulamin arrested at 11.30am today

Ustaz Dr Badrulamin Bahron, one of the ten opposition leaders and Reformasi activists detained under Malaysia’s infamous and dreaded Internal Security Act in April this year, was re-arrested at his home at 11.30am today just a month after being released.

Dr Badrulamin, who was released on 3 November 2001 after spending almost seven months under detention, is being remanded at the Gombak Police Station. The Gombak police are waiting for further instructions from the police headquarters, Bukit Aman, and it is not known yet whether he is going to be charged for any crime or sent back to the Kamunting Detention Centre.

According to the police, Dr Badrulamin is being detained because he had violated the terms of his release in that he had recently addressed a crowd at the National Justice Party Gombak Divsion office. Dr Badrulamin’s release was under strict conditions prompting him to comment, "It is better I be sent back to Kamunting where there is more freedom compared to now."

Amongst the terms of Dr Badrulamin’s release is that he would be under restricted residence in the Gombak area and would not be allowed to leave the area without police approval. Dr Badrulamin is also not allowed to hold any party post, be involved in any political activities, act as an adviser to any political party, or give talks in a public rally. He also had to report to the Gombak Police Station every Monday and must remain indoors from 10.00pm every night until 6.00am the following morning.
