Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) today urged the Higher Education Ministry to probe claims that Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) punished students for speaking out on those dressed in Ku Klux Klan (KKK) outfits.

Suaram executive director Sevan Doraisamy also urged Suhakam to independently investigate the claims for violations of students’ rights to freedom of expression, academic freedom and freedom of movement.
