The federal government and the police last week withdrew their bids for the Court of Appeal to deny Amri Che Mat’s wife from having limited access to the classified special task force report into the activist’s enforced disappearance eight years ago.

Counsel Surendra Ananth, who acts for Norhayati Mohd Ariffin, confirmed that the government and police have filed a notice of discontinuance of the appeal before the appellate court concerning the report classified under the Official Secrets Act 1972.
