Activist charged with offences related to running unregistered organisation
Zafar Ahmad Abdul Ghani, who heads a Rohingya human rights organisation, claims trial to both charges under the Societies Act.
PETALING JAYA: The president of the Rohingya association, Zafar Ahmad Abdul Ghani, was charged in the Putrajaya magistrates court today with two offenses under the Societies Act. Allegedly, Ghani introduced himself as the organisation's president during an investigation into Merhrom's activities and statements. The charges under Sections 42 and 48 of the Act relate to managing an unregistered society and representing an unlawful society, respectively.
The Registrar of Societies found that Merhrom was not registered and that Ghani was not an office bearer. The court has set October 30 for mention.
