“Bail is as of right and the purpose is to ensure the accused - TopicsExpress



          

“Bail is as of right and the purpose is to ensure the accused attends trials and subsequent proceedings in court. It is apparent that they are trying to punish Alvivi and the whole charge is arbitrary because if you look at the Facebook post, it is not something inciting violence. Yes, it is offensive but not a crime. Alvivi’s action is of ‘ignorance and insensitivity,’ but it ‘does not warrant prosecution in court’. This is clearly an abuse of the court process and is politically motivated. They are trying to get the support of the Malays and other Muslims by showing that they are staunchly defending Islam. You have to remember that these people charged are not found guilty yet. The way everybody is behaving, it is as if the court has already convicted them. This is against the principles of law,” Lawyer Fadiah Nadwa Fikri. My sentiments exactly.
