Representasi ditolak, Zamri Vinoth akan dibicara April depan
Pihak pendakwaan akan memanggil sehingga tujuh saksi untuk memberi keterangan terhadap pendakwah berusia 41 tahun itu.
Kuala Lumpur: Prosecutors have rejected Zamri Vinoth's representation to re-consider his charges for allegedly posting Facebook updates related to a meeting involving a prohibited temple, stating that a re-consideration of the case is set for April next year. The Public Prosecutor's Office (AGC) refused Zamri's representation to revise the charges.
The court was not informed about further details regarding the representation. Zamri's defense lawyer, Nur Shafiqah Shafiyah Omar, informed the judge that the prosecution will call up to seven witnesses to testify against the 41-year-old. The court then fixed April 21-22, 2027 for Zamri's trial and to continue his bail. Zamri stated in a press briefing that he views the decision positively and is grateful for the chance to explain his case and Garah, the Hindu temple-anti-prohibition movement he coordinated.
He expressed his commitment to upholding the rule of law and hopes for justice to prevail. Zamri was charged on February 3, 2023, under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, which includes statements made with the intention to cause public alarm or panic. The offense carries a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment, a fine, or both.
