Press Releases: Sedition Arrest of Nurul Izzah 03/16/2015 01:34 PM EDT Sedition Arrest of Nurul Izzah Press Statement Jen Psaki Department Spokesperson Washington, DC March 16, 2015 We are deeply concerned with the detention of opposition member of Parliament, Nurul Izzah.   The Malaysian Government’s recent investigations and charges of sedition against critics raise serious concerns about freedom of expression, rule of law, and the independence of the judicial system in Malaysia. To further restrict freedom of expression will only lead to further erosion of important pillars of Malaysia’s democratic system.   We encourage Malaysia to take steps to apply the rule of law fairly, transparently, and apolitically in order to promote confidence in Malaysia’s democracy, judiciary, and economy.
