KUALA LUMPUR: Controversial blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, better known as Papagomo, will send a representation letter to the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) over his sedition charge for remarks against His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia.
Wan Azri's lawyer, Logen Eskander, said the representation will be sent as soon as possible.
However, he declined to elaborate on the nature of the representation.
Earlier, before Sessions Court judge Siti Aminah Ghazali, Logen had requested for a mention date to be set pending the submission of the representation to the AGC.
He also confirmed that the prosecution have handed over forensic documents to the defence.
The prosecution was represented by Kuala Lumpur prosecution director Datin Kalmizah Salleh.
The court set Aug 21 for mention.
On May 2, Wan Azri claimed trial to making seditious posts on his X account on April 29.
The offence falls under Paragraph 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act 1948 punishable under Subsection 4(1) of the same act, which carries a maximum three years' imprisonment or RM5,000 fine, or both, upon conviction.
On April 30, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain had said Wan Azri was detained by the federal classified crimes investigation unit.
The statement was allegedly contained in a video clip lasting two minutes and 46 seconds where he questioned the King's decision to grant an audience to the founder of KK Mart stores over the issue of the socks which had the word "Allah" printed on them.
Wan Azri was also said to have claimed in the video clip that the ruler was the one who had given orders that Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegubard, be prosecuted under the Sedition Act for also questioning the granting of the audience.
