Ahli Parlimen Permatang Pauh, Nurul Izzah Anwar akan menulis rayuan kepada Peguam Negara, Thommy Thomas berhubung kes seorang lelaki dijatuhkan hukuman gantung sampai mati kerana memiliki, memproses dan mengedarkan ganja yang diproses untuk tujuan perubatan.
Nurul Izzah berkata, beliau secara peribadi akan menulis rayuan untuk mendapatkan pengampunan terhadap lelaki itu, Muhammad Lukman Mohamad, berdasarkan merit pada kes berkenaan. "Ganja menjadi semakin diterima ramai di banyak negara sebagai tumbuhan yang mempunyai banyak faedah, terutamanya rawatan pelbagai penyakit kronik. Sudah tiba masanya untuk mengkaji definisi apa yang membezakan seseorang individu, pengedar, penagih atau pesakit yang memerlukan ganja untuk rawatan," katanya.
