People who turned up to show moral support were indeed touching. Many strangers came and some in working attires and surprisingly housewives too.
People were willing to take time off from work to be present for their moral support was beyond words. Talk about brotherhood and sisterhood, the crowd spoke for itself.
Those charged were not allowed to leave the courtroom. They had to wait for the bail to be posted over lunch time. There is always a Samaritan among the candlelight attendees in time of needs. Mr.R.Aravind came forward with KFC and mineral water to keep the “detainees” stomachs from growling. On behalf of those “detained” we thank you sir, for your kind thought.
By 4.30 pm, the last of the 23 "detainees" managed to leave for home.WHAT ARE THEY CHARGED FOR? God Knows!
Let us turn back the pages of time over how it all started where the 23 persons for the candlelight vigil were deemed to be a threat to peace, in Part 3. No matter how ridiculous it might sound to be, but for the police, it was all much ado about nothing!
The night of November 9th took an ugly turn. The first anniversary of BERSIH was to start after the candlelight vigil at the same venue.
