CLARE Rewcastle-Brown has been ordered to pay £28,900 (RM156,000) to Abdul Hadi Awang by a British court, according to the PAS president’s lawyer.

In a Facebook posting, Wan Rohimi Wan Daud said the London High Court handed down the decision in a defamation suit filed by Hadi in the UK against the Sarawak Report editor

“TGHH (Tok Guru Haji Hadi) has won all five interlocutory applications! Sarawak Report has been ordered to pay costs of £28,900,” he posted today.

Hadi’s political secretary Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar told the New Straits Times Press that more details will be given in a press statement today.

The Islamist party chief filed the defamation suit against Rewcastle-Brown at the London High Court on April 21 last year following a Sarawak Report article which appeared on August 6, 2016 alleging that he had received RM90 million to get PAS to support Umno and Barisan Nasional.
