Group calls for repeal of Peaceful Assembly Act following women’s march probe FMTNews
Madpet said the police should stop ‘harassing’ the participants of Women’s March Malaysia, which took place on Sunday.
Madpet spokesman Charles Hector said it made no sense for the police to play the role of “permission giver” for the exercise of the fundamental right to assemble. “A protest more than five days later is simply too late, and will not likely get much public support or media attention,” he said. The exception was when the 1998 Reformasi protests took place, when hundreds were arrested and charged, he said.
