Activist Ali Abd Jalil, who fled Malaysia to escape sedition charges, said he has been issued an asylum ID card in Sweden as part of the legal process to obtain political asylum there.
In his latest Facebook update, Ali said that with the card, he is now protected under the United Nations' law and Dublin Regulation on asylum seekers.
"I now hold an asylum card, under the UN law and Dublin Regulation... I am no more bound to Umno's and the sultan's laws... This is not Malaysia," he wrote on his Facebook wall today.
Ali fled to Sweden after facing the law for criticising the Johor monarchy.
He faces three sedition charges for allegedly insulting the Johor royal family and the sultan of Selangor in his Facebook postings.
Ali was first detained on September 8 and taken into police custody in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Johor.
On September 23, he was released after posting bail of RM8,000 at the Shah Alam court complex.
His freedom was short-lived as he was re-arrested and taken to Johor, reportedly because other police reports had been lodged against him there.
Following his ordeal, Amnesty International adopted him as a prisoner of conscience, saying it was part of a push to ensure he did not suffer further punishment or selective prosecution.
