The Magistrate’s Court in Kuala Terengganu issued a warrant of arrest against Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown for failing to be in court to face a charge with defaming the Sultanah of Terengganu, Sultanah Nur Zahirah.
According to a report by The Edge Markets, Magistrate Nordiana Abd Aziz issued the warrant following an application by the prosecution.
Clare has since responded, saying those attempting to extradite her will meet with a “fog of confusion” as there is no such thing as criminal defamation under British law.
“They will get the same negative response they humiliatingly received when they attempted to extradite me under a Red Notice (terrorism) Alert for exposing the scandal of 1MDB,” FMT quoted the British national as saying.
The Magistrate’s Court in Kuala Terengganu issued a warrant of arrest against Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown for failing to be in court to face a charge with defaming the Sultanah of Terengganu, Sultanah Nur Zahirah.
According to a report by The Edge Markets, Magistrate Nordiana Abd Aziz issued the warrant following an application by the prosecution.
However, Clare has since responded, saying those attempting to extradite her will meet with a “fog of confusion” as there is no such thing as criminal defamation under British law.
“They will get the same negative response they humiliatingly received when they attempted to extradite me under a Red Notice (terrorism) Alert for exposing the scandal of 1MDB,” FMT quoted the British national as saying.
Rewcastle-Brown was supposed to appear in court today to face a charge under Section 500 of the Penal Code for making a disparaging statement about Sultanah Nur Zahirah in her book titled The Sarawak Report — The Inside Story of the 1MDB Expose.
Sultanah Nur Zahirah, who filed the suit on Nov 21, 2018, claimed that the disparaging statement by Rewcastle-Brown could be taken to mean that she was involved in corrupt practices and interfered in Terengganu’s administration besides using her status to influence the establishment of Terengganu Investment Authority (TIA), which later became 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
She claimed that the statement also construed her as having helped fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low to become an adviser to TIA.
