PUTRAJAYA: The travel ban imposed on former Bersih 2.0 Chairman, Maria Chin Abdullah in May 2016 on grounds that she had allegedly disparage the government, was unlawful, the Federal Court ruled Friday.
Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat who chaired a seven-member bench said there was no positive provision of law which set out clearly and unequivocally that the Immigration Director-General and the Home Minister had the right to impose the travel ban on Maria.
“The right to travel abroad is a fundamental right guaranteed to all persons under Article 5 (1) of the Federal Constitution. It is obvious from the facts that the appellant’s (Maria) right had been breached,” she said in her judgement.
