BUTTERWORTH: Guang Ming Daily photographer Loh Hoay Hoon was brutally assaulted by Parti Keadilan Rakyat security officers on Sunday night, causing her to feel dizzy and her head to become swollen.

The incident took place at Seberang Jaya Agricultural Exhibition Centre. After Keadilan advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was escorted away by his security personnel, Loh found herself besieged.

These security officers began to curse her after Anwar left. In the commotion, a male security officer suddenly kicked her, and later dashed forward to nip her neck.

Just when she was immobilised, someone dealt a heavy blow on the back of her head, causing her to feel dizzy and her head to become swollen.

Fortunately, she was dragged away from her attackers and escorted to safety by a valiant The Sun photographer.

Loh went to Seberang Jaya Hospital to have her injuries examined at about 1.00 a.m. She later lodged a police report.

Loh said the assault could have been linked to what happened last month, when she covered a mammoth Keadilan rally at the same location on 5 July.

She had some verbal conflicts with the security officers during the ealier gathering.

She later handed in some photographs and evidences to Penang PKR liaison secretary Abdul Malik Abdul Kassim, and wanted him to take the necessary actions.

She believed Sunday's assault had something to do with the earlier conflicts. (Sin Chew Daily)
