Religious feelings law too vague, breaches basic rights: Surendran

A law criminalising the hurting of the religious feelings of others is so vague that it breaches the fundamental right to a fair trial, said lawyer N Surendran in the Magistrate’s Court today.

Surendran, who is representing “Mentega Terbang” director Mohd Khairianwar Jailani and producer Tan Meng Kheng, said this in their bid to have the High Court look into the validity of their charges under the above-mentioned law.
