Zunar to AG: Drop all charges under Sedition Act

Attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali must drop all charges under the Sedition Act following his decision to discontinue the sedition prosecution against Universiti Malaya law professor Azmi Sharom.

Cartoonist Zunar, who himself is facing nine charges under the controversial Act, said Apandi’s decision was simply “too little and too political”.

“He dropped the charges based on political issues,” the cartoonist told Malaysiakini, pointing out that the sedition charges against Seputeh MP Teresa Kok were dropped when US president Barack Obama visited the country last year.
