The Klang Sessions Court today acquitted blog writer Wan Azri Wan Deris, much better referred to as Papagomo, of a sedition charge over remarks supposedly made on Facebook 3 years earlier.
His attorney, Rafique Rashid Ali, stated judge Siti Aminah Ghazali provided the choice at the conclusion of the defence case.
“The court kept in mind that the defence had actually effectively raised an affordable doubt, while the prosecution had actually stopped working to show its case beyond an affordable doubt,” he informed Bernama when called today.
He stated just Wan Azri, 43, affirmed for the defence, while deputy public district attorney Mustaffa P Kunyalam prosecuted.
On July 31 this year, the Kuala Lumpur High Court purchased Wan Azri to enter his defence after enabling the prosecution’s appeal versus an earlier Sessions Court choice acquitting him.
On Sept 3 in 2015, Siti Aminah acquitted and released the blog writer, ruling that the prosecution had actually stopped working to develop a prima facie case versus him. The High Court consequently reversed that choice and bought him to enter his defence.
On Jan 8, 2024, Wan Azri pleaded innocent to a charge of making seditious remarks on Facebook by apparently declaring that the federal government was pro-Israel and pro-Western.
He was implicated of making the remarks on the Facebook page of Halid Hamidi, likewise referred to as Halid Mat Kool, which a person at a condo system in Jalan Tong Shin, Bukit Bintang, saw at 1pm on Nov 8, 2023.
The charge was framed under Section 4( 1 )(b) of the Sedition Act 1948, which offers an optimum prison regard to 3 years, a fine of RM5,000, or both.
