Wan Azri bebas tuduhan dakwa kerajaan ‘pro-Israel, pro-Barat’
Mahkamah Sesyen Klang memutuskan pihak pendakwaan gagal membuktikan pertuduhan hasutan terhadap Wan Azri Wan Deris melampaui keraguan munasabah.
Malaysian political figure Wan Azri Wan Deris faces accusations of accusing the government of being pro-Israel and pro-West through a Facebook post around noon on November 8, 2023, according to a report by Bernama. The Klang Magistrate's Court has acquitted and released Wan Azri from the charge of making malicious statements against the government.
In the court's brief decision, the prosecution failed to prove its case against Azri under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act, exceeding reasonable doubt. The court also ordered the return of his RM7,000 bail. Wan Azri was represented by lawyer Rafique Rashid Ali, while Deputy Prosecutor Mustaffa P Kunyalam and Nadia Izhar appeared on behalf of the prosecution.
He was initially released by the Magistrate's Court last year, but the High Court ordered him to defend himself this year in response to the prosecution's appeal.
