00:00 Lawyer Nik Elin Zurina, Nik Abdul Rashid, has lodged three police reports following
00:05 recent death threats, Sinar Harian reports.
00:09 The threats were following the federal court challenge that nullified 16 provisions in
00:13 Kelantan's Sharia criminal laws.
00:16 During an interview on NST's Beyond the Headlines podcast, Nik Elin said it was important for
00:22 the people to read every provision in order to better understand the law.
00:27 She said most of the threats are from individuals who are just blindly following instructions
00:32 from their political leaders.
00:34 Such actions, she said, were contradictory to Islam as a religion defined by peace.
00:40 On Friday, a nine-member federal court bench in an eight-to-one decision allowed the application
00:46 by Nik Elin and her daughter to challenge laws covering Sharia offences that were passed
00:52 by the state and came into force in 2021.
00:56 Chief Justice Tun Tunku Maimuntuanmat, who delivered the majority judgment, said Kelantan
01:01 had no authority to enact the laws, as the subject matter was covered under Parliament's
01:06 lawmaking powers.
01:09 After the decision, Nik Elin said she had not done it for herself but for everyone,
01:14 despite being vilified, condemned and cursed.
