Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur has highlighted a disturbing trend in Malaysia, where dozens of people have been charged with sedition following their criticism of the Government or its officials. The law has been applied to a range of individuals, including politicians, human rights defenders, academics, lawyers, students and journalists. However only associations - and not businesses - face deregistration if they, as an entity, violate the Sedition Act.
