A DAP assemblyperson was among nine men charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court this morning over purported links to defunct terrorist group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
The suspects were taken to two different Sessions Court judges before they were slapped with the charges under Section 130J of the Penal Code.
Section 130J deals with the offences of soliciting or giving support to terrorist groups or for the commission of terrorist acts which carry a maximum punishment of life imprisonment or not more than 30 years in jail.
On Tuesday, the nine were charged at different courts nationwide with supporting the LTTE or being in possession of items related to the terror group.
Today, four of the suspects - G Saminathan, who is DAP assemblyperson for Gadek in Malacca; scrap metal dealer A Kalaimughilan, 28; despatch S Teeran, 38; and taxi driver V Balamurugan, 37, were charged before Sessions Court judge Rozina Ayob.
Five others - teacher R Sundram, 52, Malacca Green Technology Corporation CEO S Chandru, 38, S Arivainthan, 27, storekeeper S Thanagaraj, 26, and security guard M Pumugan, 29 - were charged in another court before Sessions Court judge Azman Ahmad.
Three more suspects are expected to face similar charges before Sessions Court judge Azura Alwi later today.
