Anwar: Stop using draconian laws to clamp down on free speech

BY SHAHRIN AIZAT NOORSHAHRIZAM

Commenting on the recent arrests of activist Mukmin Nantang and graphic artist Mohd Fahmi Reza Mohd Zarin, the PKR president said that human rights and press freedom have seen a decline under the Perikatan Nasional government. “The government must stop using draconian laws to silence critical views and differing opinions. To quote Voltaire, I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the end your right to say it,” he said in a statement today.“Hear them, and work for the people, not for yourselves,” he added.
