Lawyers For Liberty (LFL) says it views the criminal charge levied against Refuge for the Refugees founder Heidy Quah at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court with grave concern and wants them dropped.
It said the decision to charge the activist with an offence under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) comes as no surprise.
