SINGAPORE - Lawyer M. Ravi has filed a court challenge over a criminal defamation case involving Daniel De Costa, arguing that the charge faced by his client contravenes his constitutional right to equality before the law.
The prosecution of Xu and De Costa, but not the Lee siblings, is an infringement of the right to equality laid out in Article 12 of the Constitution, Mr Ravi argued. "If the statements of the Lee siblings are not prosecuted, should similarly not be prosecuted, a fortiori when the statements of the Lee siblings were more direct, and the allegations more severe."
