Organisers of Seksuality Merdeka lose appeal

A three-member Court of Appeal panel led by Justice Datuk Clement Allan Skinner (pix) ruled that the police's decision to ban the festival was not amenable to judicial review.

They claimed that Khalid operated under a misunderstanding or ignorance of an established and relevant fact that the event was not being used for deviationist activities, to cause an outbreak of disharmony, enmity or public disorder, or to threaten national security.
