Allegations of increased targeting of the co-chair of the Coalition for Fair and 26/09/2012
Free Elections (Bersih), and other Bersish members, by non-State and State
actors. According to the information received, on 19 May 2012, Ms. Ambiga
Sreenevasan had to cancel her participation in a public event amidst fear for
her safety due to hostile acts by members of a right wing party. Over the
following few days, she received memorandums from two groups which
accused her of being an enemy and traitor of the State, and stating that she
should be expelled from the country. On 23 May, the federal Government
announced that it would sue Ms. Sreenevasan, together with other Bersih
organizers, for damage which allegedly occurred during the Bersih 3.0 rally
of 28 April 2012.
