The Bar Council president Lim Chee Wee says the former IGP disqualified himself by calling some of the Bersih 3.0 protesters communists.
FMT ALERT
KUALA LUMPUR: The Bar Council said former inspector- general of police Hanif Omar is not suitable to head the independent panel to probe the police violence that took place during the Bersih 3.0 rally.
Speaking at a press conference after chairing the Bar Council’s extraordinary general meeting (EGM) today, its president Lim Chee Wee said Hanif disqualified himself by taking a stand against Bersih 3.0 earlier.
“It’s unfortunate that the former IGP referred to some of the protesters as communists,” he added.
On April 28, tens of thousands marched in the nation’s capital but the rally was marred with reports of police assaulting scores of protesters and journalists.
Subsequently, Hanif reportedly told the media that some of the demonstrators were communists as he recognised their faces.
