此前被判藐视法庭罪的范国瀚,在推特分享获得已故总理李光耀之子,也是现任总理李显龙弟弟李显扬的襄助,为他负担上诉的两万元担保金(security for costs)费用。

在昨日,他分享里律师告知他到最高法院上诉需缴两万元的担保金,如果上诉失败,这笔担保金也拿不回,“正义也不便宜啊!”(Justice is not cheap!)

不过,在后续的贴文,范国瀚又透露,李显扬联系他伸出援手,为他分担这笔担保金,“我很感谢他的慷慨相助。”

在上月29日,社运份子范国瀚和民主党党要陈两裕,因藐视法庭罪双双被判罚款5000元,或以坐牢一周取代。

两人选择坐牢,但要求展期服刑,期间准备上诉至最高法院。

范国瀚是在去年4月,于脸书的贴文称,马来西亚法庭处理政治个案比新加坡司法更独立,而被总检察署指控藐视法庭。有关贴文也转载新闻:“《当今大马》挑战反假新闻法违宪”。

随后,陈两裕在脸书为范国瀚抱不平,指出总检察署的举措,更加证实范国瀚的批评所言不虚。结果也同样被控藐视法庭罪。

2016年司法(保护)法令自2017年10月生效,范国瀚和陈两裕两人,成为该法令生效以来首两位被指控藐视法庭的个案。被判藐视法庭罪者,可被罚款最高10万新元,或监禁三年,或两者兼施。
