| Message | Mr Speaker, we believe the police need to have the license to disperse crowds in the case that the demonstrations turn violent. The HNP see the law fine as it stands and we do not want to impose further restrictions on public assembly but nor do we want rioting and possibly worse scenes erupt in our nation. |
