The Federal Court will deliver its verdict on a review application made by PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim over the Sodomy II conviction tomorrow.
This is Anwar’s last legal avenue to challenge the five-year jail sentence handed down by the Federal Court, which upheld the Court of Appeal’s decision to overturn his acquittal.
If Anwar succeeds in his bid, the apex court will decide whether to acquit Anwar or order a retrial at the High Court. If Anwar’s conviction stands, he would remain in jail until mid-2018.
PKR will be holding a rally outside the Palace of Justice to show solidarity with their incarcerated leader.
