The family of Noorizwan Zulkefly will hold a peaceful gathering at Bukit Aman police headquarters on Oct 17 to demand justice and answers over his death in police custody.

Noorizwan, 42, was pronounced dead on Oct 1 after spending about 10 days in custody at the Cheras district police headquarters.

His brother, Nooranis Zulkefly, said the family had received no response from the police since speaking out about the case a week ago.

“If we do not fight this issue, such incidents could continue to happen to members of the public who are oppressed, especially those who do not have the financial means,” he told Malaysiakini.
