Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: A global human rights group slammed Malaysia's government yesterday for banning an opposition-backed rally that organisers said would attract tens of thousands of activists calling for free elections.
National police chief Musa Hassan denied permission for today's rally, saying it would "jeopardise public order." Police also said it would inconvenience motorists.
"The grounds for refusing the rally are nonsense," said Brad Adams, Asia director at the New York-based Human Rights Watch.
