Muda secretary-general Amir Hariri Abd Hadi has filed a preliminary objection to strike out a charge made against him in connection with a protest on the littoral combat ship (LCS) issue.
His lawyer, Rajsurian Pillai, said the application was filed yesterday through the court system and submitted to the prosecution today.
"The court set March 20 for parties involved to file their written submissions and March 27 for the preliminary objection hearing," he said when met by the media after the case management before Magistrate Nurul Izzah Shaharuddin today.
According to Rajsurian, the initial objection was filed on the grounds that the charge against his client was defective.
On Aug 26 last year, Amir pleaded not guilty in the Magistrate's Court in Kuala Lumpur to a charge of failing to notify the police before holding the rally in front of the Sogo Complex in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman at 2pm on Aug 14, 2022.
The 32-year-old was charged under Section 9 (1) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 and can be punished under Section 9 (5) of the same law which provides for a maximum fine of RM10,000.
