PSM 6 charged with having subversive documents

The six PSM activists who were released last week from detention under the Emergency Ordinance have been charged for being in possession of subversive documents.

azlanThey claimed trial to the charge under Section 43 of the Societies Act and an alternative charge under Section 48(1) of the same law.

The activists - dubbed the 'PSM 6' - also face a charge under Section 29(1) of the Internal Security Act (ISA) for possession of allegedly subversive documents.

Butterworth Sessions Court judge Kamal Hisham Mohd Tajuddin set bail at RM8,000 each, and fixed the hearing from Oct 10-14.

The six are Sungai Siput MP Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj, PSM activists Choo Chon Kai, Sarat Babu, M Sarasvathy, M Sukumaran, and A Letchumanan.

They will be tried together with 24 other PSM activists who had been charged earlier.

Section 48 states that anyone who acts on behalf of or represents an unlawful society by bringing with them 600 photocopies of pamphlets is liable to a maximum penalty of five years' jail, a fine of up to RM5,000, or both.

NONESection 43 stipulates that whoever is a member, attends meetings of or aids, an unlawful society is liable, on conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or to a fine not exceeding RM5,000, or both.

The same charges were brought against 24 other activists who were detained in Sungai Dua, Penang, while on their 'Udah Bersaralah' roadshow on June 25.

All 30 activists were initially detained on suspicion of planning to wage war against the Agong.

The reason was later reduced to that of posing a threat to public order.

The police then said the six had been detained over their 'key role' in the July 9 Bersih 2.0 rally.

However, they were released on July 29. - Malaysiakini
