Activist Azrul Mohd Khalib who started the online petition in support of the Citizens' Declaration is being probed by police under the Sedition Act 1948.

He was summoned to the Petaling Jaya district police headquarters today for his statement to be recorded under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act.

"He was asked a number of questions about the petition and finally the police confiscated his mobile phone and laptop," Azrul's lawyer, Melissa Sasidaran, told journalists outside the police headquarters.
