"I have been in communication with all of them and I am happy to say that they are all safe," he said in a media statement.
Reezal, who is also the chairman of the UMNO Malaysia overseas students' bureau, urged Malaysians staying around Manchester area to always be in touch with the Malaysian High Commission in in London.
He also thanked the High Commission for ensuring the safety and welfare of its citizens, especially the students there.

They were later released at 9pm local time.
