THE National Library Board (NLB) yesterday explained why it stopped a former political detainee from being a speaker at an upcoming forum organised by some undergraduates.

The man at the centre of the controversy is Mr Vincent Cheng, who was accused in 1987 of masterminding a Marxist conspiracy and detained by the Government for three years.
