SUHAKAM Report of Public Inquiry into the Incidents During and After the Public Assembly of 28 April 2012 3.21 Hanafi bin Ahmad Zainuddin (W10) in his testimony said that a group of police personnel approached him and his friends. Since it was impossible for them to leave, they decided to sit down and wait until they could leave the area. Hence, they did not run when the police personnel approached them.

However, W10’s nephew, Faizullah was grabbed as he was wearing a yellow BERSIH T-shirt. Faizullah was taken to the HSBC building where he was allegedly hit and stomped upon by about 10-15 police personnel. When W10 tried to stop the police from further injuring Faizullah, he also received blows. He managed to retreat and escape by running away. 3.22 Hanafi bin Ahmad Zainuddin (W10) also saw the police chasing a man who was carrying a camera, and saw the police confiscating the camera. 3.23 In the above incidences involving groups of police personnel, the witnesses concerned testified that the police personnel concerned were either in full police uniform, or in uniform but without their identification number.
