Seven more Orang Asli in Gua Musang, this time at Pos Pasik, were arrested after police moved to dismantle a separate blockade this afternoon.
The Orang Asli were held in a police truck for several hours before they were transported to the Gua Musang district police headquarters.
According to lawyer Siti Kasim, she had been waiting at the police station to assist the arrested Orang Asli as police had to make a long journey back to town from the interiors.
