ALIRAN condemns the recent assault on freedom of speech by cyber bullies, abetted by officials who need to examine their priorities and review their standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Aliran is shocked and disheartened to hear that Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa has seen it fit to initiate investigations into an incident-free book launch on April 13 at the Gerakbudaya bookstore in Petaling Jaya.
