Court upholds lifting of Home Ministry ban on SIS book

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has dismissed a Home Ministry appeal challenging the lifting of a ban on a book deemed prejudicial to public order.

A three-man bench chaired by Court of Appeal judge Justice Abdul Wahab Patail upheld a High Court decision on Jan 25, 2010 to quash the ban on Muslim Women and the Challenges of Extremism, published by Sisters in Islam (SIS) Forum (Malaysia) in October 2005.
