KUALA LUMPUR – Siti Nuramira Natasha Abdullah, the woman who allegedly insulted Islam during an open mic comedy skit at the Crackhouse Comedy Club, will be detained by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) following her release from custody this morning.
According to her lawyer, R. Sivaraj, they were informed by a Jais officer of the impending arrest at the Kuala Lumpur court complex here this morning.
“Upon release of my client at the KL Duta Criminal Court, they are of the plans to re-arrest her under Section 7 of the Shariah Criminal Offences (Federal Territories) Act 1997,” he told The Vibes via a text message today.
Siti Nuramira was expected to be released from custody today after managing to post bail yesterday.
Her other lawyer, Ramesh Chandran, had said that she will be delivered to the court complex here from the Beranang satellite prison at around 9.30am today.
He added that her partner, Alexander Navin Vijayachandran, should also be released at roughly the same time today from the Kuala Kubu Baru satellite prison, and is set to have his bail proceedings completed at the Petaling Jaya courthouse.
The Vibes had reported that the couple had managed to raise enough money to secure their combined bail of RM40,000 four days after a crowdfunding initiative was started.
On Sunday, Sivaraj said that RM15,000 had been collected from the public, adding that the plan was to bail out Siti Nuramira first before continuing to gather money for her partner’s bail. – The Vibes, July 19, 2022
