Protect Bersih’s rights to peaceful assembly, take action against red shirts
We, the undersigned organisations, condemn the red shirts’ violent attack of Bersih’s convoy team in Perak on Oct 1, 2016. We urge the inspector-general of police (IGP) to investigate immediately the incident and arrest the perpetrators. The IGP must protect the rights of civil society organisations to assemble peacefully, meanwhile ensuring the safety of the following Bersih convoys and participants.
