POLICE have not received any application for the organisation of an “Aksi Bertindak: Kepung Demi Palestin” rally set to be held around the United States Embassy in Kuala Lumpur from tomorrow until Sunday.

Wangsa Maju police chief Ashari Abu Samah, confirmed the matter when contacted by Bernama today regarding the programme organised by the Palestinian Solidarity Secretariat (SSP).

In a statement today, SSP said the rally would be carried out to demonstrate the response of Malaysians, comprising a coalition of 48 civil society groups, student movements and political organisations, demanding four immediate actions.

The rally is to demand a halt to the killings of Palestinians, an immediate, permanent and unconditional ceasefire, the cessation of hostilities to address the immediate needs of civilians in Gaza, and the recognition of Palestinians’ right to a sovereign state.

“This will be a peaceful rally. We (SSP) will set up tents and stay in the tents throughout the rally, in addition to organising solidarity events every night and displaying flags and symbols of the Palestinians’ struggle,” read the statement. – Bernama, December 25, 2023.
