KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 — Blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, or better known as RPK, was given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal in his criminal defamation trial by the Sessions Court today as the police have yet to serve the warrant of arrest on him.
He is charged with defaming Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, wife of the Prime Minister, Lt-Col Abdul Aziz Buyong and his wife Lt-Col Norhayati Hassan, in a statutory declaration made at the Jalan Duta court complex here on June 18 last year.
The arrest warrant was issued on May 26 when he failed to turn up in court.
The two military officers have also filed a separate defamation suit against Raja Petra.
On Wednesday, the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court also gave Raja Petra a discharge not amounting to an acquittal relating to a sedition charge because the police could not trace him to serve another warrant of arrest.
