PKR rep claims DPP broke deal over appeal, seat at risk

PKR Youth chief Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has claimed that the prosecution team reneged on a deal when it appealed the RM1,500 fine meted out to him after he pleaded guilty to breaching the Peaceful Assembly Act over the “Black 505” gathering in Selangor in 2013.

He said the prosecution agreed to a representation by his legal counsel that an appeal would not be filed if he pleaded guilty.

"We actually reached a deal with the deputy public prosecutor (DPP) that if I plead guilty, they will let the case end there. But then they appealed for a higher sentence," he told Malaysiakini.
