Nancy: The intention of Sarawak's Bersih 4 organisers is genuinely for peaceful assembly




 By James Joseph
KUCHING, 28 August 2015 - Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nancy Shukri said there is a different approach in respect of Sarawak Bersih organisers when they agreed to the change of venue proposed by the State Authority.
"Civil Liberties is all about being civil, and negotiations should be part and parcel of that. 
"Here in Sarawak, we witnessed the workings of civil liberty at its best because the intention of organiser is genuinely to gather peacefully according to law and at the same time the Local Authority acknowledges civil rights of people to assemble," she said in a press statement today.
