CJ: Najib’s petition to UN is ‘up to him’

PUTRAJAYA: Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat is unfazed by Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s recent 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.

The top judge said the action by the former Pekan MP was “entirely up to him” as the Federal Court had delivered its decision on his final appeal and, thus, this did not affect the judiciary.
