Human rights organisations slam heavier sedition sentence for Wan Ji

PETALING JAYA: Several human rights organisations have slammed the additional one-year sentence given to preacher Wan Ji Wan Husin for sedition. 

He was initially sentenced to nine months in jail by the Sessions Court in April 2018, but this was extended to one year by the Shah Alam High Court on Tuesday (July 10), when it denied Wan Ji’s appeal against his conviction and sentence.
