Court urged to waive RM70k fee imposed on rape survivor

Two lawmakers have urged the Kuala Lumpur High Court to reconsider its recent decision to strike out a case brought by a survivor against her alleged rapist after she could not make a RM70,000 “security” payment.

Last week, judge Azimah Omar annulled the survivor's sexual assault and false imprisonment suit against police officer Hazrul Hizham Ghazali.
