The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) will appeal the High Court’s decisions ordering the government and police to pay the families of missing activist Amri Che Mat and Pastor Raymond Koh a total sum of over RM40 million.
The AGC said in separate statements today that it decided to file a notice of appeal with the Court of Appeal after reviewing the court’s decisions.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court had ordered the government and police to pay Koh’s family RM37 million over the state’s involvement in his abduction.
Justice Su Tiang Joo held that one or more of the defendants, who are both current and former police officers, had been involved in Koh’s abduction and acted under orders eight years ago.
Su also ordered the government and police to pay a sum of more than RM3 million to Amri’s family for their failure to conduct proper investigations into his disappearance.
