Representasi ditolak, Zamri Vinoth akan dibicara April depan

On March 17th, Zamri Vinoth faced charges for posting on Facebook about a gathering involving a prohibited religious site. In Kuala Lumpur, the Public Prosecutor (AGC) rejected Zamri's request for a retrial of the charges. Attorney General's Chambers official Nur Farhana Poad informed the court that Zamri's representation had been rejected, without providing further details about the representation.

The prosecutor plans to call seven witnesses to testify against the 41-year-old. The court has set April 21-22, 2027 for the hearing and to continue Zamri's bail. During a media briefing, Zamri expressed positivity about the decision, thanking the opportunity to explain his case and the Anti-Haram Religious Site Movement (Garah) he coordinated.

He emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and the pursuit of justice. On March 17th, Zamri was charged under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, which involves making statements intended to cause public fear or alarm. The maximum penalty for this offense includes up to two years in prison, a fine, or both. Zamri was represented by attorney Nur Shafiqah Shafiyah Omar.
