Activists have condemned police for questioning them over a recent peaceful protest at Parliament and called for a review of the policy.
Bersih chairperson Thomas Fann called it a waste of police resources and time, adding that it could amount to harassment of citizens’ freedom of expression.
They were questioned under the Peaceful Assembly Act's Section 9(1), which stated that the organiser of a rally has to notify the police five days before the event is held.
This is in connection to a rally in which two memorandums were handed over to Parliament concerning the anti-party-hopping law and the Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC).
