Suhakam, Bar Council to monitor rally


Both bodies will send monitoring agents for the Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat rally at Stadium Merdeka tomorrow.
PETALING JAYA: Suhakam will send 20 officials to monitor the Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat rally tomorrow, said commissioner James Nayagam.
He also said that a few commissioners would be present at the location to monitor the proceedings.
“Our focus will be at the seven meetings points towards the stadium,” he told FMT.
The rally participants for tomorrow would march from several locations to Stadium Merdeka. Among them are Central Market, National Mosque and KLCC.
Nayagam said that so far, he had seen some improvements from the police and organisers in their conduct to handle the crowd expected for the rally.
“Looking at the response from both sides, I don’t foresee anything untoward happening,” he said.
Meanwhile, Bar Council said that it would also send 20 monitoring agents for the rally.
“We will also assign at least three lawyers to be on stand-by, in case anyone needs legal assistance in the event they are arrested by the police,” said Bar Council president Lim Chee Wee.
He urged the police to exercise restrain and only use force when absolutely necessary.
“We also call upon the police to put on their identification tags. Don’t use water cannon, tear gas or beat up rally participants. Learn from the Bersih rallies,” he added.
