Can't Attend The #TangkapMO1 Rally? Get A Feel Of It Through These Photos And Videos
Close to 1,000 protesters are participating in the rally.
From 2pm today, student activists and supporters from political parties have gathered around the Sogo shopping center and Masjid Negara, to pressure authorities to arrest 'Malaysian Official 1'.
They are protesting despite not being given permission by DBKL to gather at Dataran Merdeka, as they plan to march to the iconic square. According to Malaysiakini, at today's rally, organisers don't plan to allow anyone but students to give speeches.
However, if you can't attend the #TangkapMO1 rally where close to 1,000 are protesting, you can get a feel of it through these photos:
