Authorities accuse 30 opposition members of conspiring to overthrow the government and supporting communism Malaysian authorities have accused 30 detained opposition members of conspiring to overthrow the government and to revive communist ideologies after the activists were arrested before a banned political rally. Opposition parties and human rights groups insisted it was a ludicrous accusation aimed at demonising activists planning a massive street demonstration on 9 July to demand greater electoral transparency. The detention of the 30 and the allegations against them mark an escalation in tensions between the government – dominated for decades by the ruling National Front coalition – and its political rivals before the rally, which could become Malaysia’s biggest in nearly four years. It comes before national polls widely expected by mid-2012. The opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, urged police to release the 30, calling the communist claim “a flimsy pretext”. Since Friday, police have detained about 80 people who were distributing political pamphlets, wearing T-shirts that promoted the planned rally or travelling to publicity events in various towns. Some were later released, but police obtained a court order to hold 30 activists for up to a week in northern Penang state. The state police official, Abdul Rahim Jaafar, said the 30 – who include an opposition member of parliament – were advocates of communist beliefs. He said they were found in a bus with T-shirts bearing the names and images of key figures who waged a communist insurgency that ended in Malaysia decades ago. The activists are being investigated under a rarely used law that makes it an offence to try to “wage war” against Malaysia’s constitutional monarch. They face up to life imprisonment if charged and convicted. The information minister, Rais Yatim, said authorities needed to take stern action against those involved in the alleged plot, stressing that “communism is outlawed and not recognised in Malaysia”, according to the national news agency, Bernama. A group of independent political activists who are organising next month’s opposition-backed rally issued a statement insisting its intention was not to oust the government but to “make the electoral system truly free and fair”. The arrest of the activists showed a “stark and alarming lack of logic and common sense [that] will further tarnish our nation’s image,” the group added. The prime minister, Najib Razak, has told Malaysians to avoid what officials would consider an illegal assembly next month, saying it was an opposition scheme to create chaos and undermine the government. Other cabinet figures made more ominous warnings. The home minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, said he could not rule out arresting rally organisers under a law that allows detention without trial if they threaten public security. The activists’ demands include overhauling voter lists and introducing transparent procedures for ballots to be cast and counted. The opposition has long accused Najib’s ruling coalition of manipulating election results to preserve its nearly 54-year rule, but the government says current election laws are fair.

Leader’s planned trip had come in for criticism from human rights groups because he is wanted on war crimes charges A planned visit by Sudan’s president to China, which was criticised by human rights groups because he is wanted on international war crimes charges, has been delayed. President Omar al-Bashir was to have arrived in Beijing just after dawn on Monday, but by the middle of the afternoon his flight had not appeared. Chinese and Sudanese officials did not immediately give a reason for the delay, which put off a scheduled meeting with the Chinese president, Hu Jintao. A foreign ministry official, Guan Enxia, told reporters waiting at Beijing’s airport that Bashir’s scheduled events for Monday had been delayed. She did not give a reason. Chang Junling, a media official at the Sudanese embassy in Beijing, said the embassy did not know the reason for the delay or have any other information. Bashir’s planned state visit stirred up controversy because he is wanted by the international criminal court for allegedly orchestrating atrocities in Sudan’s Darfur region during the country’s civil war. It is the first such warrant against a sitting head of state. But China, which has major oil investments in Sudan, is not a member of the court and has expressed concerns that the indictment of Bashir could cause further instability in the region. The Sudanese leader rejects the charges from the Netherlands-based court, which has no police force and relies on member states to execute its orders and warrants. Amnesty International said earlier this month that China should withdraw its invitation to Bashir and arrest him if he travels to Beijing. “If China welcomes Omar al-Bashir, it will become a safe haven for alleged perpetrators of genocide,” said Amnesty’s deputy Asia Pacific director, Catherine Baber. Bashir has travelled without arrest to several other nations, including ICC treaty signatories Chad and Kenya. His talks with Chinese leaders are expected to focus on promoting peace in the African nation before south Sudan’s independence next month. Violence has escalated in areas contested by the north and soon-to-be-independent south, and China is pressing both sides to peacefully settle the disputes, Beijing’s special envoy for African affairs, Liu Guijin, said last week. China has long had close ties with the leaders of the north. It has been courting support in the oil-producing south, which becomes an independent country on 9 July. In an interview with China’s state-run Xinhua news agency before he left Sudan, Bashir said the split would not affect relations between Sudan and China, even if Beijing were to establish relations with the southern Sudan state. He praised China as an oil partner, calling the agreements with Chinese companies a “real exchange of benefits”, while saying deals with western companies were unfair. South Sudan’s declaration of independence will be the culmination of a 2005 peace deal that ended more than two decades of civil war that killed more than two million people.

‘Power to the workers’ banners erected as Greece debates bailout conditions In a dramatic start to a week dominated by one of the most crucial parliamentary votes in modern Greek history, communist militants stormed the Acropolis on Monday morning unfurling huge “power to the workers” banners from the monument’s ramparts. As tourists ascended the hill to the fifth-century BC site, they were greeted by gigantic protest banners proclaiming: “The peoples have the power and never surrender. Organize – Counter attack.” “We call upon working people, youth, women to join our popular uprising,” the All Workers Militant Front (PAME), an adjunct of the powerful Greek communist party, the KKE, declared in a statement. “We will strengthen our struggle with people from all over the world against capitalist brutality in order for the brutal measures that bankrupt the people not to be applied.” Although described as a symbolic move, the stunt reinforced the level of popular hostility to economic policies now seen as crucial if Greece is to avoid a possibly disastrous default . Upping the ante, unions have declared a 48-hour general strike starting on Tuesday – the first two-day walkout since the collapse of military rule and the return of democracy in 1974 – to coincide with parliament’s debate on the measures. Mass rallies have been scheduled in 65 towns during the two days that Greek politicians will discuss the belt-tightening policies. “It will be two days that have never seen before,” said Stathis Anestis of the General Confederation of Greek Workers, the country’s largest labour force. The debate on the austerity programme, which includes €28bn (£25bn) of fresh spending cuts and higher taxes, begins on Monday with a vote expected on Wednesday. Talks will also take place in Rome on Monday evening between EU officials and European bankers over the vexed question of the role of private creditors in a second rescue package for Greece.
