PETALING JAYA: The Attorney General has the right to drop charges against Indonesian Siti Aisyah, said outgoing Malaysian Bar president George Varughese amid concerns of double standards towards her co-accused, Viet­­­­namese Doan Thi Huong.

He said AG Tommy Thomas (pic) had his reasons for continuing to prosecute Doan, 30, for the murder of North Korean Kim Chol or Kim Jong-nam.
