Bersih to challenge Home Ministry's order that it was illegal

KUALA LUMPUR: The Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Bersih 2.0) has obtained a High Court order to challenge the Home Ministry's declaration that it was an unlawful society.

High Court (Appellate and Special Powers) judge Justice Rohana Yusuf granted Bersih 2.0 Steering Committee leave to initiate a judicial review application.

She, however, dismissed the committee's application for leave to get an order prohibiting the Home Minister, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and their officers from entering and searching any of their premises as well as seizing any property belonging to Bersih 2.0.

The judge also rejected the committee's application for leave to get an order directing the minister and/or IGP to release to the applicants all T-shirts, placards, newspapers, books, circulars, pictorial representations, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, proclamations, accounts, banners, list of members, seals and related documents bearing the logo and words of Bersih 2.0 which had been seized from them.

Justice Rohana also refused a preliminary objection raised by the Attorney General's Chambers that the applicants have no legal rights to institute the action against Government and two others.

She fixed Nov 22 to hear merits of the judicial review application.
