Lawmaker Sulu Sou announced via a social media post that he has been cleared by the Public Prosecutions Office (MP) of four allegations of aggravated disobedience.
The four charges were pressed by law enforcement entities.
He recalled that three years ago, the morning after Legislative Assembly election day, the first thing he did was not thank voters for voting him in, but participate in an inquiry at a police station.
“All the harassment, smearing and accusations related to the election have persisted for a long time,” the lawmaker wrote in the post. “During this period, I alone had been in and out of the police station for five times.”
According to his account, the police told him that he and his team were reported during the election campaign for erecting his campaign flags on hand-pushed carts and trolleys. The police found this behavior to be in violation of the Election Law.
Sou was first told that there were seven allegations, making seven separate cases. Later, some cases were combined, resulting in four remaining charges.
Three years later, he has been cleared of the charges. He asked the question: “What social effect is this process [trying] to achieve?” AL
