DAP has called o­n the Home Ministry to lift the ban o­n the Iban-language bible and 11 other Christian literature written in Bahasa Malaysia or Bahasa Indonesia.

The ban is unconstitutional as it infringes o­n the rights of Ibans and others to practise their religion, its Perak chairperson Ngeh Koo Ham said in a statement today.

"Many Ibans are Christians and they are entitled to have their bible in their own language," he stressed.
