吉隆坡，2017年1月20日 — 妇女援助组织（WAO）欢迎高庭就家暴及谋杀案受害者 Nurhidayah A. Ghani 的案件做出公正裁决。高庭是于2017年1月20日裁定其丈夫 Jamaluddin Ali 触犯刑事法典第302条文（谋杀）罪名成立。 对 Nurhidayah 的家人而言，这项裁决为他们多年来寻求正义的疲惫与冗长过程带来圆满的结局。Nurhidayah 自2003年起遭丈夫身心虐待逾十年，他曾不断的将她的头部撞向墙壁、用头盔和钓鱼竿殴打她，甚至尝试勒死她。Nurhidayah 和她的家人在2009年至2013年间，就丈夫的暴力行为向警方报案超过10次但当局并未采取行动保护 Nurhidayah。在受害者已取得临时保护令（IPO）的情况下，Jamaluddin 仍多番骚扰 Nurhidayah 和她的家人，但当局却拒绝逮捕已违反庭令的 Jamaluddin 此外，Nurhidayah 的姐姐表示，邻居曾听见 Nurhidayah 的求助呐喊声，但他们却不屑一顾。这显示周遭民众仍视家庭暴力事件为个人家庭的问题，以致他们无视或不伸出援手帮助受害者。 Jamaluddin 是于 2013年5月17日，闯入 Nurhidayah 所乘搭的车子并将她殴打致死。根据医生表示，受害者遍体鳞伤，大部分内脏皆已损坏。 对于 Nurhidayah 的不幸遭遇我们深感悲痛。若当局或周遭民众采取适当行动，这起悲剧或可避免，而 Nurhidayah 至今可能仍然在世。 家庭暴力案件并非个人家庭问题，反之是造成家庭分裂，甚至让妇女丧失性命的可怕刑事罪行。《1994年家庭暴力法令》涵盖肢体暴力、精神虐待、性暴力和经济控制等罪行，而 Nurhidayah 的案件也显示，这些家暴行为是真真切切存在的罪行。 民众若认识任何遭遇家暴者，请伸出援手协助她们。民众可拨打 WAO热线03-7956 3488或发送短讯至 TINA 018-9888058。让我们一同避免 Nurhidayah 的悲剧再度发生。
