KUALA LUMPUR:
The High Court here ordered the government and police to pay a sum of over RM3 million to the family of missing activist Amri Che Mat for failure to conduct proper investigations into his disappearance.
Justice Su Tiang Joo ruled that the government and police had breached their statutory duties, and that their officers had acted unconstitutionally.
Amri, the founder of the NGO Perlis Hope, left his home at about 11.30pm on Nov 24, 2016. His car was found at a construction site at the Bukit Cabang Sports School in Perlis early the next morning.
The activist’s wife, Norhayati Ariffin, filed a lawsuit against the police and government over the manner in which the authorities investigated his disappearance.
