郭素沁：警方提控理大生陈泓凯违反和平集会法与大专法令精神

Teresa — Tue, 08 May 2012 08:23:58 +0000

吉隆坡8日讯）民主行动党士布爹区国会议员书郭素沁抨击警方提控� ��民之声槟城支部志工陈泓凯，已经违反了和平集会� �令，以及修改大专法令给予大专生自由结社和参政的精神。她说，甫结束的国会会议已经修改了大专法令，让大� ��生能够自由参加任何政党和社团；此外，内安法令� �被删除，以和平集会法令替代，目的就是要让大马更民主和给予大专生更大的空间。 “然而，陈泓凯上个月在槟城理科大学张贴净选盟海� ��而被捕，并被控上槟城法庭，警方的举动不但违反� �项法令的精神，也予人一种对净选盟支持者持有偏见的印象。” 她说，陈泓凯一旦罪成，将面对不超过6个月监禁丶或不超过3千令吉罚款或两者兼施；警方处理陈泓凯进入理大校园张贴净选盟集会海报的手法非常夸张，似乎� ��对净选盟展开报复的举动。也是行动党全国组织秘书兼雪州高级行政议员的郭素� ��今天发表文告说，於428 举行的3.0净选盟大集会并不是一项非法集会，首相纳� ��和内政部长希山慕丁都异口同声表示人民可以自由� �加这项集会，人民只是被禁止进入独立广场。 “因此，相对于张贴净选盟集会海报，根本就不是一� ��问题，警方是没有任何理由将陈泓凯控上槟城推事� �。” 她说，一般上，大学或学院的布告栏或墙壁上，都不� ��被张贴不获执法单位批准的广告及海报，难道只有� �贴净选盟集会海报的人触犯刑事侵入的条例吗？郭素沁呼吁希山慕丁能够与警方取得共识，不要再让� ��辜的人民受到不必要的伤害。郭素沁有关人民之声槟城支部志工陈泓凯被控上推事庭的新� ��报道如下 http://www.sinchew.com.my/node/246350?tid=1
