Suspect in anti-Islam FB post freed

KLANG: The 25-year-old man who was detained by police after allegedly insulting Islam on his Facebook posting has been freed on police bail.

The suspect, a post-graduate student from a local university, was let off on bail on Friday pending investigation into the case.

South Klang OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Yusop said police were probing the case and urged the public to remain calm.

The student had allegedly made derogatory statements in his Facebook posting in July.

The issue was highlighted on Tuesday after a man lodged a police report after the suspect's house in Taman Klang Jaya was attacked.

The suspect was picked up the following day despite claiming that he did not make the posting.
