Families of missing Malaysian pastor and activist win landmark lawsuit against government
A Malaysian court has ruled the government and police responsible for the enforced disappearances of Christian pastor Raymond Koh and Muslim activist Amri Che Mat. The landmark decision, awarding millions in damages to their wives, marks the first judicial recognition of state involvement in such cases. Police have been ordered to reopen investigations, though the attorney-general's Chambers plans to appeal.
