MALAYSIAN COURT FREES BLOGGER
A Malaysian court freed on Friday a blogger who was detained under the country's draconian security laws and whose arrest in September sparked condemnation from the opposition and rights groups. Opposition supporter Raja Petra Kamaruddin, 58, was held under Malaysia's Internal Security Act (ISA) that allows indefinite detention without trial. He was suspected of being a threat to security for insulting Islam in this mainly Muslim country of 27 million people.
