Siti Kasim Awarded Rm160k In Damages Over Unlawful Arrest By Jawi


 


The Kuala Lumpur High Court has awarded lawyer and activist Siti Kasim RM160,000 in damages over her unlawful arrest and detention during a private fundraising event in 2016.
The court allowed her civil suit against the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (Jawi), 15 of its officers, and seven others.
In his judgment, High Court judge Su Tiang Joo ordered the defendants to pay RM100,000 in exemplary damages, RM60,000 in aggravated damages, and RM100,000 in legal costs to the plaintiff.
The court held that Siti Kasim, whose full name is Siti Zabedah Kasim, had proven on the balance of probabilities that she was wrongfully arrested and falsely imprisoned by two Jawi officers after exiting the ballroom of the hotel where the event was held.
“In my considered view, there was misfeasance in public office by the defendants in conducting a raid and apprehending a participant at a state event, without ensuring the lawful exercise of their powers, thereby causing unnecessary fear and discomfort,” the judge said.
ADSSiti Kasim filed the suit in September 2019, claiming false imprisonment, misfeasance in public office, and a violation of her constitutional right to personal liberty under the Federal Constitution.
She maintained that she had not obstructed any officer and was merely discharging her duties as a legal practitioner at the time of the incident.
On Aug 21, 2020, the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate’s Court acquitted and discharged Siti Kasim of the charge of obstructing public servants, ruling that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case under Section 186 of the Penal Code.
