It's ten years since Malaysia's Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was convicted on sodomy and corruption charges, following two trials which his supporters insisted were unfair and politically-motivated. Datuk Seri Anwar is in Melbourne for the Parliament of World Religions, while at home he's fighting a second sodomy charge in the Malaysian courts. This week the Kuala Lumpur High Court rejected his application to have the charges dismissed, despite a medical examination finding no evidence of sexual misconduct.
