: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today filed a petition before the United Nations Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention to ask for a release from prison or retrial of his SRC International Sdn Bhd case.
Lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah told a press conference that his client filed the petition to ask for a release or a retrial following an appeal hearing at the Federal Court which he claimed had serious defects and was contrary to the rules of international justice. “The five distinguished human rights judges will not be called upon to decide whether Najib is guilty but to determine whether his trial was fair and if not, may call upon the government to release him or provide him with a retrial.
He further said that the final few days of the appeal in August amounted to a “rushed justice” when Najib’s lawyers were not allowed the time that was obviously needed to read the many tens of thousands of pages of the appeal papers or to come to grips with the 94 grounds of appeal that his previous lawyers had filed.
