Malaysia: Activists are gathering at Putrajaya Square ahead of a Federal Court decision, as of the afternoon of Feb. 9
Activists are awaiting a Federal Court decision at Putrajaya Square, Malaysia, as of the afternoon Feb. 9. Increased security likely.
Over 500 activists have reportedly gathered at Putrajaya Square as of the afternoon of Feb. 9, ahead of the Federal Court's decision on a constitutional challenge to the Kelantan Syariah criminal enactment.
Increased security measures will likely continue around Putrajaya Square and the Federal Court in the coming hours. Localized transport and business disruptions are possible, especially if activists occupy nearby roads. Clashes between officials and protesters, or between opposing groups of demonstrators, may occur, particularly if activists respond negatively to the court decision.
Avoid the protest site as a precaution. If clashes occur nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a safe nongovernmental building. Plan for possible localized transport and business disruptions around the site. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
