Longhouse folk removing the cement blocks on Monday (Dec 9) despite not getting the green light to do so.
SIBU: The Rajang branch of the Sarawak Dayak Iban Association (Sadia-Rajang) wants the blockade installed across two access roads leading to Rumah Jalak and Rumah Nita at Batang Igan near here removed immediately.
"We urge the local authority to lift this blockade within 24 hours because this is a blatant disregard of basic human rights as enshrined in Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 5 and 8(5) of the Federal Constitution," said Sadia-Rajang chairman Bill Jugah on Monday (Dec 9).
