Bersih rally: Two MPs and 15 others acquitted: Power to Bersih people! 8D

The Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court has freed 17 people (among the 17 were Batu MP Tian Chua, Padang Serai MP N Gobalakrishnan and PAS central committee member Mohamad Sabu) from an illegal assembly charge for participating in the Nov 10, 2007, rally organised by the Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Bersih).

Sessions judge Jagjit Singh Bant Singh who delivered his decision after hearing 36 witnesses from the prosecution during the trial that has taken three years, said the prosecution had failed to prove a prima facie case that the 17 accused were participating in an illegal assembly at various locations in Kuala Lumpur.
