Our green comrade Natalie Lowrey, has just been refused entry into Malaysia! She is now being held up by the Malaysian immigration at KLIA and will be deported.
Natalie has returned to Malaysia as an observer for the criminalisation of environmental defenders and also to lend support to our 15 comrades who are charged for participating in the “622 Shut Down Lynas” protest in front of the Lynas plant in Gebeng on 22nd June, who will face the second hearing on 2nd Sept 2014 in the Kuantan court.
The barring of Natalie is totally unjust and it’s a shameful moment for the country especially on this Merdeka Day.
It is ironic that Lynas, who poses such immense threat to the health and wellbeing of our people is allowed into our country, but not Natalie, someone who fights to protect the wellbeing of the people of Malaysia.
Kick out Lynas, Not Natalie !
