Magistrate Ahmad Solihin Abd Wahid said the prosecution had failed to prove a prima facie case against him.

On Sept 8, 2015, Adam Adli, together with fellow activist Fariz Musa, were charged with taking part in a Feb 28 street protest, from the Sogo shopping mall on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman to the KLCC Esplanade.

Six others were also charged separately with the offence under the Peaceful Assembly Act (PAA) 2012.

The rally was called to protest Anwar Ibrahim’s conviction the month before and the then impending implementation of the goods and services tax (GST).

All went to the Federal Court to challenge the validity of the PAA but the apex court refused to hear their case as there were no facts of proceedings from the trial court to decide on the constitutionality of the provision.

Adam, when contacted, said he was happy with today’s ruling but his battle was not over as he had other cases pending trial and appeal.

“I have another PAA case still in the Sessions Court and two in the Court of Appeal for rioting and sedition,” he told FMT.

Court of Appeal has no authority to hear legality of unlawful assembly
