According to a report by Associated Press, a Malaysian blogger was charged with sedition “for allegedly implying that the deputy prime minister was involved in the killing of a young Mongolian woman.” Several opposition members and bloggers came to court in order to support Raja Petra Raja Kamaruddin.

Back in April Raja Petra wrote in his site “Malaysia Today” implying that Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife were involved with the 2006 murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu who was a Mongolian interpreter.

Bloggers and supporters worldwide are saying that the charges constitute a violation of free speech.
