The Klang Sessions Court today acquitted blogger Wan Azri Wan Deris, better known as Papagomo, of a sedition charge over remarks allegedly made on Facebook three years ago.

His lawyer, Rafique Rashid Ali, said judge Siti Aminah Ghazali delivered the decision at the conclusion of the defence case.

“The court noted that the defence had successfully raised a reasonable doubt, while the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt,” he told Bernama when contacted today.

He said only Wan Azri, 43, testified for the defence, while deputy public prosecutor Mustaffa P Kunyalam prosecuted.
