US to monitor legal proceedings
KUALA LUMPUR: The United States will closely monitor legal proceedings involving Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy case.
The US Embassy, in a statement issued yesterday, urged that the rule of law be upheld.
It said the transparent and impartial application of the law in the case was crucial in order for continued confidence in Malaysia as a democratic country.
The statement said Anwar's past sodomy conviction pointed to a flawed legal process that led to the conviction being overturned later by the court.
