Court stays Jais from acting on banned book publisher
The Kuala Lumpur High Court has granted an interim stay which prevents the Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (Jais) from investigating and prosecuting ZI Publication and its director Mohd Ezra Mohd Zaid.
Mohd Ezra is scheduled to report before the Syariah Lower Court tomorrow as he has been asked by the authorities to do so.
Following today's development, the Syariah Court is expected not to charge Mohd Ezra tomorrow.
Justice Rohana Yusuf also granted leave to ZI Publication and Mohd Ezra to initiate a judicial review against the banning of the book 'Allah Liberty and Love'.
ZI Publication and Mohd Ezra has named Jais, its director-general, its chief enforcement officer, its Syariah chief prosecutor, the Selangor and Malaysian government as respondents.
