Update 7.30pm, from Malaysiakini that quoted Jeff Ooi:

Ooi said the injured photographer, who declined to be named, was later hit by a water bottle hurled through a half-open car window when trying to inch away from the venue after being surrounded.

“A person in a Pemuda BN uniform threw the water bottle which smashed into the face of my friend. The impact caused his glasses to break, cutting the area below the eye.

“It was from a close distance. We were basically surrounded… he now requires medical treatment,” said Ooi.

He also claimed that a member of the mob also attempted to grab their cameras in the car but failed.

Ooi confirmed that he had pictures of the incident, but added that it would not be distributed to the press.

Looks like there’ll be no photos :( But we should respect the wishes of that other photographer.

Full details in a story I just posted on the keADILan website.

Shame, shame, shame!! >:(

Leaving a restaurant that was next to an Umno Youth operations center at about 3pm, these hooligans started surrounding the cars, heckling and went so far as to kick the vehicles.

Failing in their kurang ajar attempt to grab cameras belonging to the photographers, bottles were thrown, and one went through an open window to hit the photographer, breaking his glasses and causing lacerations under his right eye.

I expect you will be hearing things first hand with pictures soon.

Shame, shame, shame.

I knew BN was scared, but it’s a little surprising to see how desperate they’ve become. Having no one who supports their ideologies and corrupt ways, the have to rely on hiring freakin’ gangsters to shore up their numbers. See what happens then?

Updates as I get them.
