Summary: | On 9 January 2012, after a lengthy two-year trial, Anwar Ibrahim was acquitted of charges of sodomy against his 23-year-old aide, Mohd Saiful. The acquittal was a shock not only to Anwar - who expected to go to jail - but to most international observers who were convinced he would be found guilty. This book recounts both the first sodomy episode (1998-2004) and the Sodomy II trial (2008-2012). It then takes up the story after the acquittal, describing the events that led to the Malaysian Court of Appeal overturning the ruling in March 2014 - convicting Anwar of the charge and sentencing him to.
