Govt must ensure better freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, says NGO coalition

PETALING JAYA: The government must ensure better freedom of expression and peaceful assembly in the country following findings of a monitoring report on the #Lawan protests, says a coalition of civil society organisations.

"The Covid-19 crisis cannot be used to justify the suppression of the rights to freedom of assembly and expression and in using heavy-handed measures in restricting and dispersing peaceful assemblies.
