Dear Friends,<\/p>\n
As the Malaysian government continues to clampdown on basic civil\u00a0liberties in Malaysia in the run up to the Bersih 2.0 Global rally for\u00a0Clean and Fair Elections, an urgent reponse from Malaysians both at\u00a0home and abroad is needed. Please sign and circulate the petition
\nbelow<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.PetitionOnline.com\/Bersih2\/petition.html<\/p>\n
On Monday morning the 4th of July 2011 the Bersih 2.0 Global\u00a0Solidarity Network will be sending out a series of faxed open letters\u00a0to Malaysian embassies in various countries where solidarity action is\u00a0taking place. We are urging people to follow up this action with a\u00a0telephone campaign, outlined below.<\/p>\n
Many thanks for your participation.<\/p>\n
In solidarity<\/p>\n
The Bersih 2.0 Global Solidarity Network<\/p>\n
The Bersih 2.0 Global Telephone Campaign<\/p>\n
Calling ALL concerned Malaysians around the world to pick up the phone\u00a0and call your local high commission or embassy this week to voice your\u00a0concern over the way the Malaysian government is grossly mishandling\u00a0the Bersih 2.0 rally for free and fair elections and violating the\u00a0basic human rights of many of its citizens. This action will only take\u00a05 minutes of your time, but it could make the Malaysian government sit\u00a0up and seriously think twice about its heavy handed approach and crack\u00a0down on civil liberties in recent weeks. It could also help prevent\u00a0further abuse if the Malaysian government gets the clear and loud\u00a0message that the entire world is watching and this sort of response to\u00a0legitimate and peaceful calls for free and fair elections in Malaysia\u00a0is hardly befitting of a member of the UN Human Rights Council and is\u00a0extremely counterproductive to their efforts to be seen as an open and\u00a0mature democracy.<\/p>\n
For further information on the background to events of recent weeks,\u00a0please read our accompanying online petition (and even better- sign it
\ntoo!). When you call the high commission or embassy, remember to\u00a0remain calm and polite and state that you are a concerned Malaysian
\n(although non-Malaysians are very welcome to participate too,we just\u00a0need as many callers as possible!) and that Bersih 2.0 Global is\u00a0calling on the Malaysian government to do the following:<\/p>\n
\uf0b7 Release all activists who have been arrested immediately and\u00a0unconditionally and drop all unfounded charges against them;
\n\uf0b7 Ensure all those detained have access to lawyers, their family\u00a0members and any medical care they may require;
\n\uf0b7 Stop the use of repressive laws such as the Police Act and\u00a0Sedition law to criminalize peaceful political activities;
\n\uf0b7 Respect the right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.<\/p>\n
Please email any responses or feedback on your encounters to\u00a0bersih2.0global -at- gmail.com which will help us track the impact the\u00a0international Malaysian community is making. We have only 5 days to do\u00a0this is but there are over 1 million Malaysians living abroad, so\u00a0let\u2019s show the world that we are standing in solidarity with our\u00a0brothers and sisters back home in Malaysia. Let\u2019s unite to join in the\u00a0global solidarity walks around the world on July the 9th because we\u00a0care, and for many of us who are fortunate to live in real\u00a0democracies, because WE CAN\u2026<\/p>\n
Thank you for taking action<\/p>\n
