Lena hits out at gov't over 'killing fields' film
ADS

Community Communication Centre (Komas) programme coordinator Lena Hendry has hit out at the government for violating her fundamental right by prosecuting her over a Sri Lanka genocide documentary filmed two years ago.

"I think the case has gone on too long. Prosecuting me for screening a film is definitely against my freedom of expression," Lena said outside the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate's Court.

She was charged with screening the documentary without the approval of the Film Censorship Board.
