Bersatu Youth chief to be charged tomorrow over solidarity rally speech
PETALING JAYA:
Bersatu Youth chief Hilman Idham is expected to be charged at the magistrates’ court in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow over a speech he delivered during a gathering outside the Dang Wangi police headquarters last month.
The wing’s information chief Harris Idaham Rashid said Hilman will be charged at 9am, for
making statements conducing to public mischief, under the Penal Code.
“The Bersatu youth wing strongly condemns this action, which is clearly an act of political intimidation aimed at silencing the opposition,” Harris said in a statement.
Hilman, when addressing the crowd at the July 29 gathering, had slammed the arrests of several party members, believed to be in connection with the Turun Anwar rally on July 26.
