The launch of a book “The Prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim: The Final Play” that chronicles Anwar’s court trials and verdicts from the day he was sacked in 1998.
The book was authored by Mark Trowell (pic), an Australian Queen’s Counsel, who was an international independent observer throughout the trials.
PKR vice-president Sivarasa Rasiah, who is also part of Anwar’s defence team, opined that the prosecution did a better job in framing Anwar for sodomy charges the second time round, but it was still not good enough.
“The important thing about the book is that is it about the biggest injustice perpetrated by the Malaysian court and done for second time. It was not a legal judgement but a political trial and will always be a political judgement,” said Sivarasa.
He said Trowell was right in telling the story from the day of Anwar’s sacking and that his jailing on sodomy charges shows that Anwar is clearly the most significant threat to Barisan Nasional.
“We will never find a parallel of how such a high officer had six sodomy charges against him. They (prosecution) did it in a crude way and now they were smarter and they put together yet another fabricated case. He had to be shamed politically and what better than sodomy?” said Sivarasa, the MP for Subang.
He pointed out that upon coming out of jail, Anwar managed to glue together the opposition parties and became a bigger threat to the ruling party Umno and the BN.
“Again the plot had to be done and Anwar had to be shamed. The prosecution was with the same objective but different actors and a different script,” said Sivarasa.
