KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution has withdrawn its appeal against the acquittal of activist Adam Adli Abd Halim over a charge of taking part in #KitaLawan rally three years ago.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Raja Zaizul Faridah Raja Zaharudin informed High Court judge Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali that they wished to withdraw the appeal filed on Dec 4 last year.
Adam’s counsel Eric Paulsen raised no objection.
Justice Mohd Nazlan then struck out the appeal by the prosecution on Wednesday (Oct 31).
On Nov 28 last year, magistrate Ahmad Solihin Abd Wahid freed Adam Adli after the prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case against him without requiring him to enter his defence.
He was charged under Section 4(2)(c) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.
Adam was previously charged with fellow activist Mohd Fariz Abd Talib, who was given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal as he was unwell.
On Sept 8, 2015, Adam claimed trial to taking part in a street protest on Feb 28 from Sogo shopping mall through Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, which ended at Esplanade KLCC.
Met after the proceeding, Adam said he had resumed his studies at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris eight weeks ago.
