KL 'neutral ground' for hearing, says Rewcastle-Brown in court filing

The Kuala Lumpur High Court is a "neutral ground" and "far away" from Kuala Terengganu to ensure a fair hearing in a criminal defamation case, Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown claimed in a court filing.

She said this in her affidavit in reply to the prosecution's contention that the criminal defamation case against her, currently before the Kuala Terengganu Magistrate's Court, is free from any alleged influence from the state's palace.
