Court should limit Najib’s movements despite stay of execution: C4

PUTRAJAYA – Even though the Court of Appeal has granted a stay of execution over former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s conviction, it should still limit and curtail his movements especially when it comes to political activities, an anti-graft watchdog said today.

Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) founding director Cynthia Gabriel told The Vibes it would be unacceptable for someone who has been convicted to go gallivanting around, canvassing for votes like what happened during the Melaka election last month.

“The stay of execution is part of due processes under the rule of law, but some restrictions on political activities should probably be made, because right now he is moving around generating political support,” said Gabriel.

“Such restrictions should be decided by the court. The stay is part of due process until the maximum allowable trial is completed. Until then, he should or should not be given a stay of execution, depending on how the judges discern the situation.
