Excellent news from Malaysiakini:
The Kuala Lumpur High Court today acquitted migrant workers’ activist Irene Fernandez, bringing an end to a 13-year court battle.
The court was to have started hearing her appeal this morning even though documents relating to her appeal case may be incomplete.
High Court judge Mohamad Apandi Ali had initially fixed Oct 28 to 30 to hear her appeal but this morning made his surprise decision to acquit her.
It’s about time, Irene! Know that many, countless, people support you, and are rejoicing with you now!
