The UK government must press Malaysia's Prime Minister on freedom of assembly in his visit this week, Amnesty International said today, after peaceful protesters in Kuala Lumpur were met with police violence and 1,667 arrests at the weekend.

Police arrested peaceful demonstrators, fired teargas canisters directly at protesters, and teargassed a hospital compound on 9 July, in attempts to stop the electoral reform rally known as Bersih 2.0 from gathering in a stadium.

And FYI, the government in Malaysia here is covering the truth. They sprayed chemicals INTO a hospital, and their only excuse is because of wind direction. #BERSIH

Demokrasi adalah BANGSAT ciptaan yahudi setelah ideologi komunis gagal.. Kerana demokrasi mewujudkan perpecahan umat Islam..

@OhioGuy19 ...very true indeed.

@fme67 There is no society anywhere in the world that even comes close. The world is run by socialists, marxists, and other authoritarians. Some countries are better than others but I cannot think of any nation that earns more than a D on the freedom report card.

Malaysia isn't truly Asia after all

I don't trust amnesty international....... they keep quiet when Israeli bomb Palestinian, when US invade Afghanistan. there's a lot of peoples been killed in there... in Malaysia only a small riot and no one dies and they complain a lot...

@leehanvoon-- FYI there is NO system in the world that practises true 100% democracy. police brutality is EVERYWHERE. thats the system.we cant change it.it will take many more years till humans become civilised enough to realise that violence is just wrong.
