Penang blogger Lucia Lai has alerted us to news about the Article 11 Coalition website. We can also read the Article 11 info on her Mental Jog site.
Lucia is a strong civic activist and has impressed me with her contribution in Penang in the aftermath of the Boxing Day tsunami disaster.
Keep an open mind and have a look at what she and the Article 11 people have to say.
I quote a short extract to whet your appetite:
In the Federal Constitution, nine liberties or rights are regarded as fundamental. The freedom of speech, assembly and association is one of them. Article 10 states that every citizen has the right to freedom of speech and expression, the right to assemble peaceably and without arms, and the right to form associations. The CPPS* considers these meetings as organized by Article 11 as an important part of the fundamental liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.
