Rights group urges the government to scrap the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 and allow public protest.
Suaram executive director Sevan Doraisamy said police imposed unlawful conditions not only on the Lawan Lapar march today but also during the Malaysian Bar’s walk for judicial independence last year.
In just two days, Suaram said police had issued warnings to organisers and potential participants of the “Selamatkan Malaysia” rally on Sept 16, as well as prevented Lawan Lapar protesters from marching to the Parliament to submit a memorandum on food security. Suaram has likened the layered police barricade seen during the Lawan Lapar protest today to the human chains of police at the Malaysian Bar’s “walk for judicial independence” last year.
Suaram said it is crucial that the police facilitate the Sept 16 rally, especially after Perikatan Nasional said it would cooperate with law enforcement.
