SHAH ALAM, Oct 19 — Blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, better known as Papagomo, was acquitted and discharged by the Klang Sessions Court today of a sedition charge over remarks allegedly made on Facebook three years ago.
His lawyer, Muhammad 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 Muhammad Azri, 43, testified for the defence, while Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohamad Mustaffa P. Kunyalam prosecuted the case.
