Hundreds of Malaysian lawyers and rights activists have staged a rare protest march in Kuala Lumpur, the country's capital, demanding that the government abandon plans to pass a new law they say would stifle the freedom of public assembly.
About 500 lawyers representing Malaysia's Bar Council marched to parliament on Tuesday, chanting "Freedom to the people", just hours before federal legislators began to debate the contentious Peaceful Assembly Act proposed by Prime Minister Najib Razak's ruling coalition.

Please stand corrected that these are "some lawyers from the Malaysia Bar Council" and are not "the lawyers of the Malaysian Bar Council". Many lawyers from the Bar Council do not condone illegal activities like these and the handful of "lawyers" in this protest do not represent all the lawyers in Malaysia. Please do not report these bunch people as representing THE LAWYERS of Malaysia because they are only a handful of them.
