editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown today confirmed that she is currently in the United Kingdom, and indicated that she has no intention of coming to Malaysia to face a charge of criminal defamation initiated in the courts today.
“I can absolutely confirm that I was given no notice whatsoever of this charge or court event,” she said, adding that she had already said she would not be in Malaysia when asked about two months ago if she intended to “cooperate”. Confirming that she is now in the UK, Rewcastle-Brown said the last time she was in Malaysia was “early in 2020 as the elected government was being overthrown”.
“I will be remaining in countries that do not recognise this ‘offence’ they seek to charge me under and so therefore will not be extraditing me to face them in KL,” she added. “There is no such crime as ‘criminal defamation’ under British law, so if those behind this case are hoping to somehow extradite me they will meet with a fog of confusion as to why?” she said, suggesting that any request to extradite her from the UK for the criminal defamation case would likely be turned down.
