Papagomo Remanded For Two Days – Lawyer
Wan Muhammad Azri who is also Papagomo is reportedly remanded for two days under Sedition Act 1948.
KUALA LUMPUR, May 1 – Blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, whose alter ego is believed to be Papagomo, will be remanded for two days until tomorrow.
This comes after his arrest yesterday afternoon for allegedly making seditious remarks against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
His lawyer Rafique Rashid said that the investigating officer had applied to remand him for four days to complete their investigation, while the prosecution objected to the remand.
Rafique said that Wan Azri was brought before the Dang Wangi remand court this morning at around 9.30am.
“After listening to their arguments, the learned magistrate gave a remand of two days until May 2 tomorrow,” Rafique said in a statement.
Wan Azri is believed to have made the remarks in a two-minute and 46-second video, where he questioned the king’s decision to grant an audience to KK Mart owner Chai Kee Kan.
In the same video, he also allegedly claimed that the king had ordered Badrul Hisham Shaharin, also known as Chegubard, to be charged in court under the Sedition Act.
A video of Wan Azri’s arrest by two police personnel went viral earlier yesterday.
