Malaysia

On 3rd March 2008 , an elderly woman named Kamariah Ali was sentenced to two years in prison by Sharia court in Kelantan again. She was a follower of Ayah Pin , founder of sky kingdom which authority has classified as an illegal religious sect.

By merely professing her belief other than Islam that is mandated and sanctioned by Kelantan state, she is deem as an apostate by religious authority. State persecution of her religion choice will continue until she stop profess freely and conform to the mandated religion of the state.

She was previously imprisoned for 20 months in 1992.

The bulldozed Sky kingdom compound resembled the demolition Gaza's home of Palestinians by Israelis government to make way for Jewish settlers in occupied territory. No doubt Malaysia's government officials are quick to level criticism and condemn Israelis soldiers for their actions on occupied neighbor land, they failed to see their own oppressive policy and unjust act against peaceful religious community and defenseless woman who refuse to submit to the state mandated religion policy.

Let's all Malaysians remember her face and her name, while she continues her personal struggle against an oppressive state authority for pressuring her into submission.
