Blogger Nathaniel Tan, a member of the opposition Justice Party of Malaysia (PKR), was freed last Tuesday 17th of July after being held for four days.

Local sources said he was arrested for posting a link to a website with a report about an alleged corruption case involving deputy internal security minister Johari Bharum. The report was deemed to constitute a violation of the Official Secrets Act. His arrest as not, as originally said, the result of his posting a photomontage of the deputy prime minister.
