KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14— The Bar Council Human Rights Committee will be sending a team to monitor the Bersih 5 rally this Saturday to document possible human rights violations.

In a statement issued today by the Bar Council committee to inform members and pupils in chambers of the briefing session for the team this Friday, they said the monitoring team must adhere to the rules set by the Human Rights Committee and to avoid participating in the rally.

According to their statement, the briefing will cover, among others, the do’s and don’ts at the rally.

It also made known of an arrest team by the Bar that will operate separately from the monitoring team.

The Bersih 5 rally by polls reform group Bersih 2.0 seeks free and fair elections, a clean government and a stronger democracy.

The street demonstration is scheduled to take place at Dataran Merdeka, with two meeting points for protesters to gather at — Dataran Maybank and Masjid Negara — before heading to the historic square.
