Publisher of Irshad Manji's book plans 3 lawsuits
The publisher of a Malay translation of Irshad Manji's book 'Allah, Liberty and Love' vows to file three lawsuits, not just against the Home Ministry's ban but also against two religious authorities.
NONEMet by reporters at a public chat session in Kuala Lumpur today, ZI Publications director Ezra Zaid said legal action against the Home Ministry will be lodged within a month.
The publisher's lawyer Edmund Bon said the intended suit will argue on the grounds that the ban is a breach of free speech and expression, and that both Ezra and Irshad had not been granted their right to be heard before the ban's imposition.
