Pusat Komas programme coordinator Lena Hendry cleared the first hurdle to take her challenge of Section 6 of the Film Censorship Act to the High Court over the right to freedom of speech and expression that is enshrined under Article 10 of the Federal Constitution.
The magistrate allowed Lena Hendrys application to refer certain questions in relation to the constitutionality of Section 6 of the Film Censorship Act 2002 to the High Court, Lenas lawyer New Sin Yew told Malay Mail Online today.
Lena was charged in September last year under the Film Censorship Act with screening the documentary No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka on July 3, 2013, at the Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall here without approval from the Film Censorship Board.
Section 6 of the Film Censorship Act prohibits an individual from exhibiting a film that has not been approved by the Board and imposes a punishment of a fine up to RM30,000, or imprisonment of not more than three years, or both.
International human rights group Human Rights Watch said in October last year that the charges against Lena appeared to be politically motivated.
According to the group, the Sri Lanka embassy had urged Malaysias Foreign Ministry and the Film Censorship Board to stop the screening of the award-winning documentary on alleged war crimes by the Sri Lankan government during the end of the Sri Lankan civil war in 2009.
The documentary shows government artillery attacks that killed children, women, and the elderly and extrajudicial executions of captured fighters and civilians by government forces, said Human Rights Watch.

A new trailer for a movie based on global anti-censorship campaign Free the Nipple has been criticized by viewers because it features actresses whose nipples have been blurred out.
The movie, which is due to be released on December 12, is a satirical account of the story behind the Free the Nipple campaign and is directed by the movement's founder, Lina Esco, who also stars as one of the main characters.
But while the full-length film, which will reportedly not contain any censorship, focuses on the group's fierce battle to see censorship laws changed, the only scene in the trailer where there is any nudity has been censored - much to the outrage of the campaign's most dedicated supporters.
