The Attorney-General’s Chambers’ (AGC) move to immediately file an appeal against a High Court’s judgment on the disappearances of Pastor Raymond Koh and social activist Amri Che Mat demonstrates a lack of accountability from the government.

Addressing a forum in Kuala Lumpur today, lawyer Gurdial Singh Nijar, who represented Koh’s family in the lawsuit, said the appeal is akin to the government refusing to acknowledge that they have a responsibility in the matter at hand.
