The Special Rapporteur recalls that organizers of peaceful protests should not bear responsibility for the unlawful behaviour of others, including in times of elections. In Malaysia, in May 2012, the federal Government announced that it would sue the organizers of the Bersih 3.0 rally of 28 April 2012 calling for free and fair elections, in relation to property which was allegedly destroyed during the said rally.
