Police deny beating individual held over demonstration in Tawau

Police have dismissed allegations that they assaulted an individual who was arrested for participating in a demonstration against the EMCO in Kampung Muhibbah Raya, Tawau, yesterday. — Picture by Ahmad ZamzahuriKOTA KINABALU, April 25 — Police have dismissed allegations that they assaulted an individual who was arrested for participating in a demonstration against the enhanced movement control order in Kampung Muhibbah Raya, Tawau, yesterday.

“Based on investigations so far, police strongly deny that our senior officers or any other personnel violated the rights of a person under arrest, what more to commit acts of violence on the individual under arrest . The news portal reported non-governmental organisation Bersih as condemning the police for allegedly beating the individual on the chest and shoulders when he was arrested together with six other activists at the demonstration in Tawau.

In Tawau, district police chief Peter Umbuas said the seven arrested yesterday were being investigated for three offences, under Section 188 of the Penal Code, Section 9 of the Peaceful Assembly Act and Section 25 of the Emergency Ordinance 2021.
