Explain decision to ban Bersih director, Sabah govt told

A PKR assemblyman from Pahang has requested the Sabah government to provide an explanation for barring Bersih executive director Asraf Sharafi Azhar from entering the state. Asraf, who is married to a Sabahan, has been prevented from returning home for the past two months. Despite efforts to seek clarification from the Sabah chief minister's office and state immigration authorities, no response has been forthcoming.

Chan Chun Kuang emphasized that expressing an opinion or participating in a peaceful assembly is not a crime, as it is protected under the Federal Constitution.
