COMMENT The conviction and sentencing of P Uthayakumar to 30 months’ jail at Kajang prison for sedition, in addition to the one-and-a-half years at the Kamunting detention centre under the Internal Security Act (ISA) in 2007 for essentially the same offence, is a miscarriage of justice.  Firstly, the total of four years exceeds the maximum sentence of three years for sedition.
