TWO NGOs LAUD POLICE ROLE DURING JULY 9 ILLEGAL RALLY

KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 (Bernama) -- Two non-governmental organisations
Wednesday submitted a memorandum to the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia
(Suhakam) in appreciation of the police handling of the illegal gathering on
July 9.

The Malaysian Muslim People's Coalition (IRIMM) and the Muslim Consumers
Association (PPIM) handed over the memorandum to Suhakam commissioner Prof Dr
Mahmood Zahdi at the Suhakam office, here.

"The good deed of the police in controlling the situation succeeded in
averting untoward incidents," IRIMM secretary-general Thajudeen Mohideen
told reporters after handing over the memorandum to Dr Mahmood.

He also said that allegations that the police had used force against the
participants of the rally were not relevant.
