PETALING JAYA: The police investigation into the ‘Save Malaysia’ rally is in breach of the Peaceful Assembly Act (PAA) 2012, says Lawyers for Liberty (LFL).
Its director Zaid Malek said the declaration by the police to declare the assembly unlawful for failure to give adequate notice not only goes beyond the ambit of the PAA, but also violates the Federal Constitution.
He said that such an investigation would be for an offence under section 9 of the PAA, which states that a failure to give notice would make one liable to a fine not exceeding ten thousand ringgit. In 2015, another court of appeal bench in PP v Yuneswaran gave an opinion that s 9 is constitutional and disagreed with the Nik Nazmi decision.
He called for the government to stop the police from running rampant by instituting unlawful investigations.
