KUALA LUMPUR: The Magistrate’s Court acquitted and discharged lawyer-cum-activist Siti Kasim who was charged with obstructing a Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department (Jawi) officer from discharging her public duty during an event at a hotel in 2016.
Magistrate Tawfiq Affandy Chin made the decision after finding that the prosecution had failed to establish the case against Siti Kassim, whose real name is Siti Zabedah Kasim, 57, under Section 186 of the Penal Code at the end of the prosecution’s case.
