Overview
- The court ruled that state actors were responsible for the enforced disappearances of pastor Raymond Koh and activist Amri Che Mat.
- Police were ordered to reopen both cases and brief the attorney-general on progress every two months.
- Koh’s family won more than RM30 million in damages, with an additional RM10,000 payable for each day since Feb. 13, 2017 until he is found.
- Amri’s wife was awarded RM3 million, and the judge directed that Koh family awards be held in trust until his whereabouts are known.
- The Attorney-General’s Chambers said it will appeal the decision, which families and rights groups hailed as a landmark step for accountability.
