Bersih will back KL 'Black 505' if it urges EC to resign
 |
Bersih
co-chairperson S Ambiga said that the electoral reform pressure group
will support the ‘Black 505’ rally held by Pakatan Rakyat in Kuala
Lumpur should it aim to urge the Election Commission (EC) to resign.
Ambiga said that Bersih has yet to get know the aims of the rally, which will be held on June 15.
“We don’t know, we believe one of the aims as they said earlier is to ask the EC to resign. If that’s the case, we will support such a move because we think the EC should resign,” she told the press after Bersih failed to meet Immigration Department director-general Alias Ahmad this morning.
Ambiga also stressed that Bersih maintains its stand that everyone has the constitutional right to hold a rally.
PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim announced yesterday that Pakatan will hold this rally in Kuala Lumpur on June 15 to protest alleged electoral fraud in the 13th general election that was held on May 5.
Asked if the rally would be held in a stadium or whether it would be a street demonstration, he said the rally secretariat would furnish details in due course.
This is to continue a series of protests around the country against alleged electoral fraud dubbed ‘Black 505', which began in Kelana Jaya, Selangor, on May 8.
Bersih previously had held two massive rallies in downtown Kuala Lumpur to urge electoral reform prior to the 13th general election.
