A participant at the Bersih 3.0 rally has claimed that she was hit by a tear gas canister, presumably aimed directly at those gathered along Jalan Tun Perak in Kuala Lumpur on April 28.
Software training consultant Chong Min Shih, 37, told the Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) that she lost "consciousness" when the canister struck the right side of her neck."Something hit me and I could feel myself falling but I couldn't control my movements. I fell to the ground and lost consciousness for a few seconds,” she said today.
"Someone in the crowd pulled me to the side of Jalan Tun Perak and told me that I was hit by a tear gas canister.
"People in the crowd helped me clean my wound, and a friend brought me a pack of ice to cover the (site of the) injury which was beginning to swell.”
Chong was testifying on the second day of Suhakam’s public inquiry into alleged human rights violations during the rally for clean and fair elections. She is the fourth witness to be called.
