Workers, organizers & civil society must be able to voice concerns & seek redress without fear of violence or repression. #ProtectTheProtest.

3/ We call on the authorities to:.🔴Halt aggressive policing tactics & allow peaceful assemblies to proceed without obstruction.🔴Investigate reports of excessive force & hold officers accountable.🔴Ensure police facilitate—not intimidate—civic participation.

2/ Peaceful rallies & the right to deliver petitions to elected representatives are protected civic actions. Using force to prevent people from peacefully assembling & petitioning their government is a violation of human rights and must stop.

🧵1/ 📢 Stop the unnecessary use of force against peaceful protestors. Today, PSM members & plantation workers marching to Parliament to submit a memorandum on the Akta Skim Perumahan Pekerja Ladang were met with aggressive policing. @PDRMsia, this is unacceptable.

Today is #WorldIndigenousDay ✊🏽🌏. In Malaysia, the Orang Asal & Orang Asli have long defended their lands, cultures, languages & way of life — yet still face threats to their rights & heritage. Their fight is our fight. Indigenous rights are human rights — today & every day!

The Peaceful Assembly Act amendments are coming — but will they go far enough?. @saifnasution says 99% of 10k assemblies since 2023 were “unrestricted.” But the reality? Intimidation. Legal threats. Silenced voices. Qistina Johari from AIM explains why we need real reform!

📢 Read our full press statement calling for the repeal of repressive laws and protection of civic space:. 🔗

“You cannot claim to support freedom of expression while arresting peaceful protestors under colonial-era laws.” – Kiran Kaur, Amnesty International Malaysia

PEACEFUL PROTEST IS NOT A CRIME. Activist @chegubard was arrested just days after the #TurunAnwar protest under Sedition Act, Penal Code, Communications and Multimedia Act, and Minor Offences Act. Reform means nothing if peaceful dissent is still punished. #ProtectTheProtest

🚨 Peaceful protesters blocked at Parliament. AIM and civil society groups condemn police obstruction of those submitting a memorandum on the Peaceful Assembly and Sedition Acts. Protest is a right — not a threat. Authorities must facilitate, not frustrate, peaceful assembly.

We call on the government to delay the PAA amendments. UNTIL:. ✅ Draft laws are shared for public feedback.✅ Inclusive consultations are held.✅ Laws meet international human rights standards.✅ UN’s 10 Principles on assembly are adopted

“Striking down Section 9(5) is not enough. The rest of the PAA still gives far too much power to the police and still treats protest as a threat.” – Qistina Johari, Amnesty Malaysia Campaigner

Despite 2019 amendments, the PAA still contains oppressive elements:.⚠️ Criminalises organisers under Section 9(5).⚠️ Grants excessive powers to police.⚠️ Discriminates against youth, non-citizens & kids.⚠️ Blanket protest bans.⚠️ Surveillance & harassment
