Activists fail appeal to challenge non-prosecution of 2 preachers

Two activists have been denied apex court permission to challenge the attorney-general’s (AG) decision not to prosecute Islamic preachers Muhammad Zamri Vinoth and Firdaus Wong for purportedly insulting Hindus and other non-Muslims.

A three-person Federal Court bench chaired by Harmindar Singh Dhaliwal unanimously dismissed the leave to appeal bid by S Sivakumar and M Rajasegaran to proceed with their appeal.
