Participants and panellists attending a planned forum on hudud at Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA) found themselves barred from the venue, claims PAS.
The university’s security personnel locked the entrance to the hall "at the last minute", alleged PAS Youth's legal and human rights director Noorazmir Zakaria (right) in a statement.
He maintained that the forum's organisers Islamic Revealed Knowledge Students Sectretariat had obtained prior approval from the university's administration for their 'Hudud: Understanding before implementation' event.
Undeterred, the organisers proceeded with their event outside the locked venue as the participants had already arrived, laying out mats, said Noorazmir, one of the panellists.
Malaysiakini is attempting to contact the university for its response.
