PETALING JAYA: Former Sungai Besar Umno division secretary Mohamed Durrany Izam was fined RM4,000 by the Sessions Court here today after being found guilty of organising an illegal rally in front of news portal Malaysiakini's office, two years ago. The court also ordered the accused to serve four months in jail if he failed to pay the fine. The offence was committed at Jalan Tandang 51 / 205A, here, at 2pm on Nov 5, 2016. Earlier, Deputy Public Prosecutor V. V. Suloshani pressed for a just punishment after taking into account public interest and security. Counsel Izzat Zabir Sariff who represented Mohamed Durrany urged the court to impose a lenient sentence saying the accused currently was unemployed and has regretted his actions.
