LFL slams republic's AG's Chambers for its note to High Court criticising the death row prisoner's lawyer.
Human rights lawyers organisation Lawyers For Liberty has reacted sharply to what it calls"threats made by the Singapore authorities against lawyer N Surendran".
"Singapore is notorious for bringing contempt of court or criminal defamation charges against its critics. British author Alan Shadrake was similarly prosecuted and jailed in 2011 for making remarks on the death penalty in Singapore," LFL director Melissa Sasidaran said in a statement. Pannir Selvam's legal challenge against the denial of clemency by Singapore's President is to be heard on July 19.
"It is a calculated attempt to sabotage Pannir's legal team, as well as hindering legal assistance from Malaysia for the other Malaysian prisoners.
