 communication director Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad was charged at the Sessions Court here today regarding the organising of the rally at Kelana Jaya Stadium on May 8.

As the organiser of the rally, Nik Nazmi, 31, who is also Seri Setia assemblyman, was charged with failing to notify Petaling Jaya police about the venue of the rally 10 days before the event took place.

He was alleged to have committed the offence at Petaling Jaya Municipal Council (MBPJ) Stadium in Kelana Jaya here at 8.30pm on May 8.

The charge under Section 9(1) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 carries a fine of not more than RM10,000 upon conviction.

Judge Rozina Ayob fixed June 4 for mention of the case.

Deputy Solicitor-General II Datuk Tun Abdul Majid Tun Hamzah appeared for the prosecution, while Nik Nazmi was represented by lawyer Eric Paulsen.

Earlier, Eric also told the court that the defence would file an application at the High Court to strike out the charge on the ground that it was an abuse of court’s process and contravened public policy.

Also present at the court was PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar. -Bernama
