KUALA LUMPUR: The Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) said it is deeply concerned by police investigations against Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan and Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir. This came just a day after a police probe was started against activist Fadiah Nadwa Fikri over a peaceful protest at Dataran Merdeka. The coalition of 14 women’s rights organisations in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak said the intimidation and harassment of women activists was a dangerous trend and that it must stop. “All of us have the right to express our views and to gather peacefully, as guaranteed by the Constitution. And we condemn any attempt to trample on these rights in the government’s attempt to crack down on dissent.
