Malaysian social activist Fahmi Fadzil has agreed to apologize on Twitter 100 times after losing a defamation case brought by BluInc Media, a magazine company.
In January, Fadzil tweeted that one of his pregnant friends had been ill treated by her employers at the magazine.
Within a week, BluInc Media had sent a letter accusing Fadzil of defamation.
Settling out of court this week, the activist agreed to apologize 100 times over 72 hours, with the same message:
I’ve DEFAMED Blu Inc Media & Female Magazine. My tweets on their HR Policies are untrue. I retract those words & hereby apologize.
