In a statement today, Syahredzan said the probe, which is held under Section 9 of the Peaceful Assembly Act and Section 4 of the Sedition Act, encroaches the rights of the organisers of the march. “As for the Sedition Act, it is a colonial vestige that is draconian, repressive, and has no place in any democratic country,” said Syahredzan, adding that the Act includes provisions which are disproportionate and gives unreasonable restrictions on freedom of speech and expression.
