PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's petition to the United Nations Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (UNWGAD), in which he is seeking a release from prison or retrial of his SRC International case, does not affect the judiciary, says the Chief Justice (CJ).

CJ Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat said that the action by former Pekan MP was "entirely up to him" after the Federal Court had delivered its decision.
