PETALING JAYA: Suara Rakyat Malaysia will gather tonight in solidarity with a PKR-linked religious preacher after the High Court upheld his conviction for making seditious remarks against the Selangor ruler.Earlier today, Wan Ji Wan Hussin’s conviction was not only upheld, but he also had his sentence increased to a year from the original nine-month jail term.
“Their failure to abolish these laws and to take remedial action has resulted in the conviction of Fahmi Reza under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and now, Wan Ji under the Sedition Act 1948,” he said in a statement. Sevan went on to urge Putrajaya to expedite the abolishment of the Sedition Act 1948 and implement a moratorium on the Sedition Act 1948 and Section 233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998 pending their respective repeal and amendment.
