Dear Sir/Madam,
Penang Institute, the public policy think tank of the Penang state government is proud to organize the upcoming book launch and forum on "The Prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim - the Final Play -" by Mark Trowell.
Date : 22 September 2015 (Tuesday)
Time : 8.00pm - 10.30pm (Registration starts at 8.00pm)
Venue: Hall 2, Wawasan Open University, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah, Penang
On 9 January 2012, after a lengthy two-year trial, Anwar Ibrahim was acquitted of charges of sodomy against his 23-year-old aide. The acquital was a shock not only to Anwar, who expected to go to jail, but to most international observers who were convinced he would be found guilty.
This book recounts both the first sodomy episode (1998 - 2004) and the Sodomy II trial (2008 - 2012). It then takes up the story after the acquittal, describing the events that led to the Malaysian Court of Appeal overturning the ruling in March 2014, convicting Anwar of the charge and sentencing him to five years' imprisonment, the final appeal against the conviction in the Federal Court of Malaysia in October 2014, and the guilty verdict that was finally delivered on 10 February 2015.
