KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Bar and its office bearers have sued the police and the government for wrongful detention when they were barred from proceeding with their “Walk For Judicial Independence” to Parliament on June 17.

The walk was organised as a peaceful protest against the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s investigations into Court of Appeal judge Justice Datuk Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, who convicted former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the SRC International case.
