A Malaysian court Monday handed a man who lives in Denmark a one-week jail term for breaking a law against “fake news”, the first person to be punished under the controversial legislation.

The law, passed in early April, makes the deliberate dissemination of false information punishable by up to six years in jail and a hefty fine. It has sparked outrage from rights groups, who believe it is aimed at cracking down on dissent.

Salah Salem Saleh Sulaiman, a 46-year-old of Yemeni descent, admitted making and posting on YouTube a video accusing emergency services of responding slowly after a Palestinian Hamas member was gunned down in Kuala Lumpur.

Fadi al-Batsh, said to be a rocket-making expert, was on his way to dawn prayers on April 21st when he was assassinated by motorbike-riding gunmen.

A clip of the video played in court, which lasted almost two minutes, showed Sulaiman speaking in Arabic and complaining about what he claimed was the slow response of the police and ambulance service after the shooting.

Authorities have disputed his claims. …

This is in a Muslim country.

Now we know why democrats/marxists love Islam so much.Both marxism and Islam are against freedom of speech and freedom

Democrats hate us conservatives but love immigrants and Muslims also because they vote for democrats .And then democrats can take full power with all the added immigrant voters so then they can turn the USA into a socialist hell hole like Venezuela

Well, the only difference between Marxism and Shariah is the forced state atheism and forced state Allah-worship respectively. Many Islamic regimes practice what they call “Islamic socialism”.

My grandfather came from Denmark in 1899. I doubt if many of his countrymen were named “Salah Salem Saleh Sulaiman”.

It pays to be careful when reading about certain “citizens” of European countries.

“Salah Salem Saleh Sulaiman”

This guy has had a bunch of songs written about him.

Mack Rice:

Mustang Salah, think you better slow your mustang down
Mustang Salah, think you better slow your mustang down

Neil Diamond:

Come she come say
Ride on the night
Sun becomes day
Day shall provide
Su, Sulaiman
Sulai, Sulai, Sulaiman

R.J. Reynolds:

You can take Salem out of the country but you can’t take the country out of Salem.

Zuckerberg and his facebook, youtube , google, amazon , twitter etc. are all run by evil marxists/democrats. These democrats have censored all these sites like Facebook , google and the rest i mentioned. They are systematically making conservatives and our messages ideas news etc. seem like we don't exist, shadow banning us and other techniques we don't even know and are under development.

We conservatives need to create alternative to those websites and apps asap if we don't want to be invisible and dissapear on the Internet. It's not that hard to do. zuckerberg a single coder did facebook originally by himself. We need to get on this immediately or we are done. Why isn't anyone mentioning this?

We also need to stop visiting those leftist sites.

I use epic privacy browser and I am on it now. It's a web browser and has a proxy and vpn that you can turn on and blocks all trackers like google facebook etc. It can hide your ip and use a proxy and vpn so everything is encrypted ("can't be hacked or seen"), has a search engine that doesn't track you, and can hide your ip or make you appear as if you are in another country (proxy and vpn). This is an alternative to web browsers and google.

But this is just one and we need more and to spread the word on this one or we are done

When I look at the racial hatred flames fanned by our race hucksters (for example, the levees in New Orleans were bombed by government agents to flood the black neighborhoods), I see this as akin to outlawing shouting “Fire” in a crowded theater. If the author actually did fabricate the story about a slow response time, it was only to cause outrage among the terrorists and recruit more.
