Human Rights activist, Lena Hendry will tomorrow know her fate in court: Will she be charged under the Film Censorship Act 2002 for screening a film without first obtaining the requisite clearance by the Censorship Board or will she be let off?

The staff of NGO, Pusat Komas, was charged for an offence under the Film Censorship Act 2002, in connection with the screening of a video "No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka" without first obtaining a censorship certificate.

If convicted, she faces the sentence of a '...fine of not less than five thousand ringgit and not more than thirty thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or to both...'

There have been many public screenings of documentaries in the past by various organisations without the Internal Ministry acting so harsh on the organisers, so why is it different then for Lena Hendry?
