KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court Thursday found 19 members of the Al Ma'unah group including its leader, Mohamed Amin Mohamed Razali, guilty on the charge of waging war against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in three places in Perak last year.
Sentencing is expected to be carried out once mitigation from the nine counsels have been completed.
The charge, under Section 121 of the Penal Code, carries the death sentence or life imprisonment if convicted.
Originally, 29 Al-Ma'unah members were charged with committing the offence but 10 of them pleaded guilty to an alternative charge of making preparations with the intention to wage war against the King and were each jailed 10 years.
However, the Federal Court reduced to seven years the jail terms of two of the 10 upon appeal.
