Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi, Datuk Mohamad Zabidin hari ini menolak permohonan untuk menangguhkan perbicaraan kes liwat Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, dan prosiding akan diteruskan jam 2.30 petang esok.
Sebelum ini, Anwar telah memfailkan permohonan semakan semula keputusan Mahkamah Persekutuan yang menolak rayuannya bagi mendapatkan lebih dokumen dan bukti-bukti untuk membuat persiapan menghadapi perbicaraan kes liwat terhadapnya.
Beliau juga turut memfailkan permohonan di mahkamah yang sama untuk menangguh, dan untuk menemui Ketua Hakim Negara, Tun Zaki Azmi, bagi mendapatkan tarikh awal pendengaran semakan semula itu. Continue reading ‘Permohonan Bagi Mendapatkan Dokumen Bukti Ditolak, Kes Fitnah 2 Didengar esok’

It is a battle which Anwar will not fight alone. Millions will follow the courtroom battle blow by blow. It is not just Anwar who is on trial but also the judiciary, the law enforcement bodies and even the reputation of Prime Minister Najib Razak himself.
The month of February 2010 will bring the Lunar New Year with its colourful red ‘ang pows’ and the din of fire crackers to remind us that yet another tumultuous year has gone by. It will also witness the beginning of the long awaited court battle where Anwar will defend himself against a charge of consensual sodomy with his ex-aide.
It is a battle which Anwar will not fight alone. Millions will follow the courtroom battle blow by blow. It is not just Anwar who is on trial but also the judiciary, the law enforcement bodies and even the reputation of Prime Minister Najib Razak himself. As Anwar is also Malaysia’s Opposition Leader, it is not just one man’s battle for honour and liberty but a battle in microcosm for the political future of the nation.
A conviction for Anwar may end his political career for good but only if Barisan Nasional wins the next general election. Should Pakatan Rakyat grab the seat of power there are ways to revive his political career starting with a judicial review to right any miscarriage of justice.
If charges are dismissed the Malaysian judiciary will receive a badly needed boost to its dented reputation and Najib may even score some brownie points for not interfering although the government will get a black eye. But if Anwar is convicted in the trial, which is already widely perceived as a parody of justice, a powerful shockwave will be generated which will dim the BN’s chances of fending off an assault by PR at the polls.

Mantan Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim menyifatkan dakwaan ke atasnya sebagai konspirasi Perdana Menteri Najib Tun Razak dan isterinya, Rosmah Mansor.
Anwar telah meminta peguamnya, Karpal singh supaya mensapena Perdana Menteri dan Rosmah untuk menjadi saksi dalam kes liwat II ini.
Anwar berkata, beliau mempunyai bukti untuk menunjukkan bahawa Saiful telah menemui Rosmah dan kemudian Najib, dua hari sebelum membuat laporan polis.
” Orang yang terlibat berpakat dengan orang yang menuduh saya termasuk Najib dan Rosmah hadir ke mahkamah jelaskan keadaan”.
Kita membuat tuntutan supaya Najib dan Rosmah hadir ke mahkamah. Saya hendak tengok mereka hadir atau tidak. Kenapa hendak larang, nafikan hak saya belan diri, sekarang saya ada bukti Najib dan Rosmah menghasut budak ini”, ujar Anwar.
Saiful Bukhari Azlan menurut Anwar hanyalah kambing hitam di dalam kes Fitnah II ini.
The last time Anwar Ibrahim was put on trial, I was tortured and forced to ‘confess’ to sodomy.

FEBRUARY 1, 2010
Nearly 12 years ago, I was languishing in a local hospital as a prisoner of conscience. This loss of freedom was due solely to my long-standing personal and professional association with Anwar Ibrahim, then Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister of Malaysia. We were falsely implicated in a fabricated case of having committed a mutual act of sodomy.
Such an internment, when driven by ulterior motives, brings a brutal deprivation upon the victim. It acts like a double-edged sword. While one’s freedom of movement is taken away by tormentors, one’s conscience suffocates in a dungeon. A poignant grief sets in once there is awareness that both the body and the conscience have fallen victim to the act of tyranny. That is what distinguishes incarceration out of an actual crime from that emanating from the acts of those who prosecute and persecute innocent others. The tormented memory never fades.
My detention by the Malaysian Special Branch taught me how it feels to be forcibly separated from one’s wife and children. How it feels to be searched and seized, disallowed to make phone calls, handcuffed, blindfolded, stripped naked, driven in an animal cage, shaven bald, endlessly interrogated, humiliated, drugged, deprived of sleep, physically abused. What it’s like to be threatened, blackmailed, hectored by police lawyers, brutalized to make a totally false confession, hospitalized for a consequent heart ailment, and treated as a psychiatric patient with symptoms of Stockholm syndrome. Barely surviving on a meager diet of rancid rice and chicken along with 12 medicines a day, I spent nearly 126 days handcuffed round the clock to my hospital bed, under the watchful eyes of the prison guards.
These tragic events completely ruined me and my family. The financial, physical, psychological and social implications of this calamity reverberate even more than a decade after the horrific occurrence. Words fail to describe what my family and I have quietly endured for the last 10 years. In spite of that, our faith in the ultimate victory of justice and truth has not wavered.
For the last 12 years, I have sought nothing but justice. I have repeatedly approached the Malaysian judicial system—the High Court, the Court of Appeals and the Federal Court—in the hope that justice would be duly provided to me. Unfortunately, my latest request for a review at the Federal Court was dismissed. Why does the judicial system shudder at the prospect of hearing my demand for justice? Why am I denied my day in court?
I am innocent. I am innocent of any and all spurious charges brought against me. I committed no crime for which I was tortured and unjustly imprisoned. I want the Malaysian judicial system to wake up to the fact that gross injustice was committed against me. I want them to realize that the injustice is perpetuated the more I continue to be denied my day in the court. My innocence inspires me to persist and persevere in the path of justice, as it is one of the fundamental human rights enshrined in the Constitution of Malaysia. The judicial system in Malaysia must rise to the call of duty and serve justice without any further delay.
