'I urge the organisers of this solidarity event to reject any individuals who wish to deliver politically motivated speeches,' said Hamid Monday. He added that the spirit of the gathering is to honour Zara's memory and to keep the focus on her rather than political interests. Hamid said he and his team strongly support the solidarity gathering. However, he advised those participating in the peaceful assembly to comply with the law and maintain cleanliness.

Court issues gag order on Zara's bullying case
KOTA KINABALU: A gag order has been imposed on proceedings involving five teenagers charged in connection with the bullying of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir at the Children's Court here on Wednesday (Aug 20). Lawyer Hamid Ismail, who represents Zara Qairina's family, confirmed that details of the case cannot be disclosed following the order made under Section 15 of the Children's Act 2001. 'We cannot speak about what took place inside because of the gag order. If it concerns other matters, we can answer, but not today's proceedings,' he told reporters outside the court, adding that he does not want to risk contempt of court. Hamid explained that Section 15 of the Act prohibits the publication of information that could identify children involved in court proceedings, including their names, addresses or details of their parents. 'This is not because they are VVIPs or because someone instructed it. This is Malaysian law. The Act clearly states that the identities of children must remain confidential, whether during investigation or trial,' he said. He added that the family respected the order and urged the public not to misinterpret it as an attempt to conceal information. 'The purpose is to ensure justice is carried out according to the law. If we do not follow the law, then there is no justice,' he said. Hamid also revealed that the family had filed an application to be an interested party in the upcoming inquest into Zara Qairina's death. The dates for the inquest are Sept 3 and 4, Sept 8 to 12, Sept 17 to 19 and Sept 22 to 30. Deputy Public Prosecutor Nor Azizah Mohamad later confirmed the gag order was applied by counsel Datuk Ram Singh.

No relatives present as lawyers for Zara Qairina's family observe trial
The legal team representing the family of the late Zara Qairina Mahathir attended the Juvenile Court in Kota Kinabalu today as observers in the prosecution of five teenagers accused of involvement in bullying. Lawyer Hamid Ismail, speaking to the media before entering the courtroom, said his team had also asked the judge to postpone the proceedings. A day earlier, Hamid had requested the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) to defer the prosecution and amend the charge to Section 507D(2) of the Penal Code. The A-GC, however, rejected the request and decided to proceed with the charges under Section 507C(1) of the Penal Code. The proceedings began after 9am but are being held behind closed doors, with no indication of how long they will last. Besides Zara's family lawyers, several other lawyers — including Datuk Ram Singh, believed to be representing one of the accused — were seen in court. Police officers were deployed for security, while no members of Zara's family were present.

Zara Qairina case: Five teens plead not guilty to bullying charge
KOTA KINABALU: Five teenagers have pleaded not guilty to a charge of using insulting words against Zara Qairina Mahathir. The minors, whose identities cannot be disclosed under the Child Act 2001, were jointly charged at the Court For Children. All five entered a not-guilty plea after the charges were read before Sessions Court judge Elsie Primus. Deputy Public Prosecutor Nor Azizah Mohamad said the teens were charged under Section 507C(1) of the Penal Code for using abusive or insulting words causing distress and fear, an offence which carries a maximum one-year jail term, a fine, or both. The prosecution requested that bail be set at RM5,000 each, with a RM1,000 deposit and one surety for each accused. The court fixed Sept 25 for the next mention of the case. Zara, a SMKA Tun Mustapha student, was found unconscious at her school dormitory in Papar on July 16 and was pronounced dead the following day at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Her mother subsequently called for her daughter's body to be exhumed for a post-mortem, citing suspicions about the events that preceded Zara's death. Last week, federal police Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk M. Kumar confirmed that there were elements of bullying in Zara's case. Separately, the Attorney-General granted Zara's family's wish for an inquest to determine whether any criminal element was involved in her death. Her death has sparked widespread calls for justice from the public, leaders, activists and non-governmental organisations.
