Defence in Yazid terrorism trial wants journalist removed as witness

KUALA LUMPUR: The defence team in Yazid Sufaat's terrorism trial is attempting to remove a journalist as witness, citing that her testimony would damage his client's reputation.

Counsel Amer Hamzah Arshad submitted on Tuesday that The Star's journalist S. Tarshini's testimony, in relation to an article she wrote on Yazid three years ago, was not relevant to the trial and would cast aspersions on his clients.
