Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali today said his son has no fear over having to give a statement to police over the Bersih 4 rally.

“He’s not afraid. My son was ready to give his statement to police today, but I told him to focus on his exam.

"Well, look at who his father is,” Azmin said, smiling.

His son, Mohamed Basheer Noor Alhaq, 15, received a notice under Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code to give his statement over the rally.

He was supposed to give his statement this morning at the Dang Wangi district police station, but this was postponed because he has to sit for a final examination which started at 7.30am today.

The teen attends an Islamic international school in Ampang, Selangor.

“Berani kerana benar, takut kerana salah (Be brave because you are on the side of truth, be scared if you are at fault),” Basheer tweeted yesterday.

Azmin is under investigation for allegedly bringing a minor to a demonstration, breaching the Peaceful Assembly Act.

The PKR deputy president attended the rally, which among others called on the resignation of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, with his family.

The rally in Kuala Lumpur on Aug 29 and 30 attracted at least 150,000 people.

According to Lawyer group Lawywers for Liberty, police are also investigating activists Nashita Md Noor and Bad Latif Mansor for attending the rally with their 14-year-old daughter.

Their daughter was also called for questioning.

LFL director Eric Paulsen said many children attended the rally, which ended peacefully.

"What possible reason could the police provide for both these children to be singled out other than the fact of their parents’ background and political leaning?" he asked in a statement.

He said Malaysia is bound by the Child Act 2001 and is a signatory of the Convention of Rights of the Child which prioritise the child's welfare.

"Investigating these children for merely exercising their right to peaceful assembly is clearly misconceived and unfortunately lends further credence that the police force remains highly politicised and selective when it comes to political offences," he said.
