THE Selangor Shariah Court has ordered BFM presenter and ZI Publications owner Ezra Zaid to stand trial for the sale, distribution and possession of 180 copies of Canadian author Irshad Manji’s books.

Justice Syukran Yusoff said today in the Shariah Subordinate Court in Petaling Jaya that the case, which began in 2012, had already taken too long and since there were no longer any legality issues with Section 16 of the Shariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995, the trial should proceed .
