MORE NAJIB SHAME FOR MALAYSIA: Book on Anwar sodomy trials to go on sale Sunday

MORE NAJIB SHAME FOR M'SIA: Book on Anwar sodomy trials to go on sale Sunday
A book detailing the trials and tribulations faced by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim related to sodomy charges against him will be available in stores beginning tomorrow.
Titled 'The Prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim: The Final Play', the book is authored by Queen's Counsel Mark Trowell, who was an international observer throughout the Sodomy II trial and appeal.
Trowell, from Australia, was an observer for the Geneva-based Inter Parliamentary Union and international lawyer association Lawasia, throughout Anwar's sodomy II trial and appeal.
The blurb says the publication recounts the whole sodomy saga - the first sodomy episode from 1998-2004 and the Sodomy II trials from 2008 to 2012.
It documents Anwar's acquittal of Sodomy II, followed by the events that led to the overturning of that verdict in the Appeal Court and the upholding of the conviction at the Federal Court.
Anwar's conviction in March last year had ruled him out from contesting the Kajang by-election, which according to his party's strategy, is the path to taking over Putrajaya via Selangor as the new menteri besar.
The foreword is written by Michael Kirby, who was Australia’s longest-serving judge when he retired from the High Court of Australia in 2009.
Anwar, the PKR de facto leader and Permatang Pauh MP, is serving a five-year jail sentence at the Sungai Buloh prison since Feb 10 this year.
Book publisher Marshall Cavendish Editions told Malaysiakini that it will be on the shelves in Klang Valley bookstores this weekend.
It will be available in bookshops in other towns in the peninsula on May 2, and in Sabah and Sarawak on May 25.
Trowell also authored 'Sodomy II: The Trial of Anwar Ibrahim' in 2012. - Mkini
