[UPDATED] Lawyer for Liberty director Eric Paulsen was arrested for sedition at Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur today, believed to be linked to his tweet accusing the Islamic Department Malaysia (Jakim) of spreading extremism.

He is now being taken to the Dang Wangi police station.

This was confirmed by police chief Khalid Abu Bakar in a tweet at 9.40pm today.

Lawyers for Liberty said that about 20 police personnel arrested Paulsen.

"It is unnecessary and a waste of police resources," it said in a tweet.

This is because Paulsen had earlier agreed to co-operate with the investigation by presenting himself at Bukit Aman tomorrow, it said.
