NGO: Continued labelling of SIS as 'deviant' makes them a target

PETALING JAYA: The continued labelling of Sisters in Islam's (SIS) as 'deviant' will only open space for more action to be taken against them by the state or even by misguided non-state actors, says Lawyers For Liberty (LFL).

LFL said this in a statement issued on Wednesday (Aug 28) following the Kuala Lumpur High Court's dismissal the day before of SIS' judicial review application against the fatwa by the Selangor Fatwa Committee that declared it deviant.
