“The prosecution is also requesting a gag order so that both parties do not issue any comments or public statements on any social media platform until the disposal of the case.“This is necessary to ensure that the course of the case is not interrupted, in addition to maintaining public order and avoiding provocative comments that will worsen the situation,” he said.
“We also object to the gag order because it is unconstitutional as the people need to be given freedom of speech. The prosecution also does not specify the gag order,” said the lawyer.
