KUALA LUMPUR: Sg Siput MPDr Michael Jeyakumarand five others, detained under the Emergency Ordinance, were released Friday.
Inspector General of PoliceTan Sri Ismail Omarsaid that the Attorney General would decide on the next course of action.
Jeyakumar, M. Sarasvathy, Choo Chon Kai, M. Sukumaran, R. Saratbabu and A. Letchumanan were arrested on June 26 and detained under the EO on July 2.
The six were detained for their alleged involvement in foreign-aided and subversive activities against the nation.
*****************
It is strongly believed the consideration to decide on the release of the six is mainly due to political pressures including from the Indian community, at the expense of the investigations so far and decision of the Police who are in charge of internal security. This is despite that the Police discovered Dr jeyakumar did travel to South Thailand to meet up with Chin Butcher of Malaya Peng, twice.
Dr Jeyakumar and thirty others were arrested upon crossing into the border from Penang on 26 June 2011 with materials for the promotion of reliving the communist struggle. Communist rebels laid down arms in a treaty sealed in Hadyaii, Thailand on 2 December 1989 which ended 54 years of brutal insurgency in Malaya (later Peninsular Malaysia).
