RPK’s sedition trial gets off the ground

October 6, 2008

The trial’s just recessed for lunch at 1.30pm and is due to resume at 2.30pm.

Started sharp at 9am, much to my surprise, presided over by Sessions Court Judge Justice Rozina Ayob.

Amarjit and Chandra are appearing for RPK.

The prosecution’s first witness, Harme Mohamed, the deputy director, international affairs, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, was offered as an expert witness on the A-Z of internet. He continues his evidence-in-chief in the afternoon.

The trial is expected to continue for the next few days, unless postponements are sought.

Will give you a follow-up report at the end of proceedings this evening.

Meanwhile I leave you with the photos taken at the court this morning.

In particular, I want to dedicate this post to the many beautiful people who were there this morning to lend love and support to RPK, Marina and the family.

You people are the absolute best that Malaysia has to offer.

The early ‘a little past 8′ birds.

Around 8.30am, Goh Keat Peng sounds the alarm that an unmarked van has pulled in and it might be that our hero is in the vehcle.

A crowd gathers close to the vehicle in anticipation.

RPK alights from the van amidst cheers of ‘Daulat Tuanku’ and remonstrationns that ‘you’ve got the wrong man inside’,

Shortly after, RPK’s lawyers, Amarjit and Chandra arrived.

James e-mailed me this photo of RPK in court. Thanks, James.

The many beautiful people who came. If you were at the court but are not featured here, I’m sorry. Ran out of space on my camera memory card.
