1 Year Today

The Anti-ISA Candlelight Vigil gathering on the 9th.November 2008 was a meaningful and memorable one for those who were present. But, it was marred by the sudden arrest of some participants at the field of MBPJ in the midst of singing Negaraku.

Yesterday was the first anniversary of the 23 arrested and a second anniversary for BERSIH today.

This photo (taken inside the Black Maria), holds a special memory for the 23 people detained on the 9th of November 2008.

Some were handcuffed and squeezed into the dark and stuffy “container” like cattle taken to a slaughter house.

Had the experience made them frightened and had nightmares for the whole one year? No! They have become angrier and adamant to seek justice until the end.

It was a wrongful arrest!

This morning saw YB Lim Kit Siang's presence to show support.

Friends and bloggers made their presence felt.

What a way to celebrate the anniversary.
