Online petition against Evidence Act
The Centre for Independent Journalism says the amended act violates the principle of presumption of innocence.
PETALING JAYA: The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) has embarked on an online campaign against amendments to the Evidence Act 1950 that Parliament passed in April.
It is collecting signatures for a petition against a new section of the act, which it says violates the “innocent until proven guilty” principle.
“We are urging concerned netizens to sign a petition against the new Section 114(a) in the Evidence Act,” said the media watchdog’s executive director, Masjaliza Hamzah, in a media statement.
