Activist Ali Abd Jalil, who earlier today was released on a RM5,000 bail after he was charged with sedition, was re-arrested by police again under the same law – this time for insulting the Sultan of Selangor.
According to the warrant of arrest handed to Ali's lawyer, Michelle Yesudas, he was accused of publishing a seditious statement on Facebook at 11.42pm on August 18.
The warrant stated that Ali was being charged due to his posting on the social media site, where he had allegedly criticised Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim for using the Selangor Sultan in his bid to remain as menteri besar in the ongoing crisis in the state.
Ali is expected to be charged at the Shah Alam Sessions Court at 3pm today. – September 8, 2014.
