The ministry also noted that Transformative Justice Collective, the activist group that Kokila works with and which made the same statements she did, had complied with the correction direction issued to them under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act . These were in relation to Mohammad Azwan Bohari, 48, who was executed on Oct 4 after he was convicted in 2019 of possessing no less than 26.5g of diamorphine, or pure heroin, for the purposes of trafficking.
In Azwan’s case, his appeal against his conviction and sentence was dismissed by the Court of Appeal in 2019, and his subsequent applications for clemency were denied by the president in 2020 and 2022. Kokila claimed there were no false facts in her earlier posts and that she was just stating her opinion.
“If indeed Ms has put out falsehoods, her credibility will be affected. On the other hand, if the Government has made baseless accusations, then the Government’s credibility will be affected. This is what free speech is about,” the ministry noted.
