Withdraw Disciplinary Charges on Adam Adli Abdul Halim Immediately

We from Parti Sosialis Malaysia Bayan Baru, oppose the action of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris authority on Adam Adli Abdul Halimas he was practicing his right to freedom of expression which is lowering Najib's flag on 23th December 2011.

2. We strongly feel that the disciplinary charge should be withdrawn because:

a) Adam Adli Abdul Halim was exercising his right to freedom of expression which is guarantee under Article 10 of the Federal Constitution and Article 19 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
b) He has not endangered public order which is alleged by UPSI's disciplinary body, if yes, Royal Police Malaysia is the body to take action, but he has not broken any law in the country.
c) The disciplinary action against university autonomy and democracy which was allowed by Section 4, 15 and 16 of University and University College Act. UPSI has utterly disgraced itself, by toeing the government line and persecuting Adam.

3. We urge that UPSI authority:

a) To withdraw all pending disciplinary charges against Adam Adli Abdul Halim.
b) To preserve freedom of expression and academics of students as universities play a central role in the development of humanity and modern society.

Yours faithfully,
Soh Sook Hwa
Secretary
PSM Bayan Baru
