Lim Guan Eng released but his civil rights remain curtailed

Posted: 26 January 1999

Today's release of Lim Guan Eng -- a leading opposition figure and former parliamentarian -- after serving two-thirds of an 18 month sentence for "exciting public disaffection with the administration of justice" and "publishing false news" is welcomed by Amnesty International.
