A demonstrator holds a candle in front of a picture of Malaysia's blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin during a vigil for the release of Raja Petra and opposition member of parliament Teresa Kok outside a police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur September 13, 2008. The Malaysian government on Friday arrested Kok, Raja Petra, and Tan Hoon Cheng, a reporter from a Chinese language daily, under the country's draconian Internal Security Act, under which people can be imprisoned indefinitely without trial. The reporter was released on Saturday. Raja Petra once published articles in relation to the murder of a Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu, whose name is on the demonstrator's t-shirt.
