“Most definitely I will continue my action against them,” she told reporters after posting RM3,000 bail for her charge of obstructing a Jawi enforcement officer, Siti Nor Jihan Saleh @ Md Ghazali, from discharging her duty.
Earlier, Siti Kasim claimed trial at the Magistrate’s Court on the charge, made under Section 186 of the Penal Code.
When asked if she had received the names of the Jawi officers who took part in the raid on April 3 last year, she said the names had been given to her.
The High Court had on June 13 ordered the government to provide the officers’ names to Siti Kasim within 14 days, following an application she made.
A video of Siti Kasim shouting at Jawi officers, demanding if they had a warrant to raid the closed door event, went viral on social media last year.
In her affidavit for the lawsuit, she claimed that the sudden appearance of Jawi officers at the event had caused chaos.
She said no arrest warrant was produced and the Jawi officers were not accompanied by police.
Siti Kasim also said she would continue to fight to uphold human rights despite being prosecuted.
“No matter what the gender, race or belief, people should be protected under our laws and not be persecuted and arrested without lawful justification,” she said, adding the charge against her was “pure intimidation”.
She said the people must not allow anyone in authority to do as they wished.
“We have the Federal Constitution, the highest law, to protect our rights,” she said.
