Pengarah strategi PKR Rafizi Ramli berkata Pakatan Rakyat memutuskan bahawa perhimpunan yang pada asalnya dirancang untuk diadakan pada 15 Jun ditunda ke minggu seterusnya pada 22 Jun.
Dalam sidang medianya hari ini, Rafizi berkata keputusan dibuat bagi memberi ruang untuk satu majlis perkahwinan dan juga satu acara kitar semula.
Ia diputuskan setelah mengambil kira rayuan pihak yang menganjurkan acara pada 15 Jun itu, katanya.
"Selepas perbincangan dengan polis Dang Wangi, penganjur memutuskan untuk menukar tarikh perhumpunan ke minggu seterusnya, pada 22 Jun," kata dalam satu sidang media di Petaling Jaya hari ini.
Perhimpunan berkenaan dirancang sebagai acara kemuncak untuk siri perhimpunan bagi membantah penipuan yang didakwa berlaku dalam pilihan raya 5 Mei.-malaysiakini
KL 'Black 505' rally put off to June 22
Opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat has postponed its planned
anti-electoral fraud rally on June 15 to accommodate a private wedding
and a recycling festival.
"We
have taken into consideration appeals from parties that have already
planned their events for June 15,” PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli
told a press conference in Petaling Jaya today.
"After discussions with the Dang Wangi police, (we) decided to change the date to June 22 ... The rally will begin at noon."
He explained that the organiser of a recycling festival and a family which has scheduled a private wedding on June 15 near Padang Merbok, had contacted the party and asked for its cooperation.
The Kuala Lumpur leg of the 'Black 505' rally was originally slated for the same date, to continue the series of nationwide protests against alleged electoral fraud and irregularities in the 13th general election held on May 5.
Rafizi appealed to Kuala Lumpur City Hall to process the application expeditiously, and also expressed hope for police cooperation since Pakatan has submitted the relevant applications and notifications under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012. -malaysiakini

Notice given, so Perlis Black 505 to go on...
Pakatan Rakyat's thanksgiving-cum-‘Black 505' rally in Perlis will
proceed as scheduled tonight, in spite of a police warning of action
against its organisers.
The rally is scheduled at 9pm at Kampung Bakau, Kangar, behind the Public Bank.
PKR
Youth vice-chief Chan Ming Kai pointed out that the party had informed
the police of the thanksgiving event 12 days ago, on May 29, and that
the police had acknowledged the application on June 4.
In another letter dated June 3, Chan said he had told the police that the event had been updated to include a ‘Black 505' rally, as part of a series of protests against alleged fraud during the 13th general election last month.
Chan, the Indera Kayangan state assemblyperson, said the police were also informed that there would be additional speakers.
However, the police then said they could not process the application just a day before the rally.
"As far as we are concerned, whether the rally is ‘Black 505' or not, we had already informed the police that there would be a gathering at the place more than 10 days ago," he said when contacted today.
Chan said the police claimed they could not process the application due to "incomplete information", as they wanted proof of the landowner’s consent to use of the venue for the rally.
"The land is under the Perlis State Economic Development Corporation, a government-linked company, so to us the land is under the government.
“We are not using using their building. We’re just using the (vacant) land and the roads there, and it is also not a very open area.”
He added that the police response did not mention that Pakatan has failed to provide the compulsory 10-day notice or that the rally is illegal.
As such, he stressed that the rally will proceed tonight and said he hoped that there would be no trouble.
"We expect their (police) good cooperation with us," said Chan, who will be among the speakers alongside PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim.
National news agency Bernama had yesterday quoted Kangar acting police chief Ismail Che Isa as saying that the organisers could face action as they had failed to notify police about the rally under Section 9(1) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.-malaysiakini
