PETALING JAYA: The Sessions Court here rejected an application by the prosecution to amend the sedition charge levelled at Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin.
The prosecution had applied to include the website address and title of the allegedly sedition article in the appendix of the charge.
The judge rejected the application after the defence team raised an objection.
Raja Petra claimed trial to publishing a seditious article on his website on April 25.
Last Friday, Shah Alam High Court judge Justice Syed Ahmad Helmy Syed Ahmad freed Raja Petra after finding that his two-year detention order under the Internal Security Act ISA was unlawful.
He had been in detention for more than a month over another article he had published on Malaysia Today that allegedly ridiculed Islam.
