Clerk wins bid to argue case on freedom of religion in High Court

PUTRAJAYA: A clerk can now argue in High Court her constitutional rights to import religious publications containing the word 'Allah' to practise her religion and right to education.

The appellate court on Tuesday granted the bid by Jill Ireland Lawrence Bill, 34, to put forward her arguments at the High Court. She is seeking a declaration that she is guaranteed equality before the law and protected from discrimination against a citizen on the grounds of religion in the administration of the law.
