Al Jazeera is under investigation for alleged sedition, defamation and transmitting offensive content.
Authorities launched the probe into the Qatar-based broadcaster’s programme last month, adding to concerns about worsening media freedom in Malaysia. “Al Jazeera calls upon the Malaysian authorities to cease this criminal investigation into our journalists.”The government has slammed the programme as misleading and inaccurate, and police are investigating the broadcaster for breaking laws against sedition, defamation and transmitting offensive content.
Police have insisted the investigation will be fair, and the journalists are being questioned as witnesses rather than suspects.
