Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) has panned the recent use of the Sedition Act 1948 by police, deeming the arrests of several individuals over posts on the former Yang di-Pertuan Agong as tantamount to "mob rule".
LFL executive director Latheefa Koya said the arrests were reminiscent of "BN government-style intolerance" towards freedom of speech, especially as the use of the act had been heavily objected to by the Pakatan Harapan coalition prior to forming the government.
