In Malaysia, the country's highest court last month rejected opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's appeal against a five-year prison sentence and a ban against running for public office for a further five years – a shocking and indefensible decision. Prime Minister Najib Razak's government was transparently vindictive in pursuing allegations of sodomy (a crime rarely prosecuted in Malaysia) against Anwar.
上个月，马来西亚最高法院驳回了反对派领袖安瓦尔·易卜拉欣（Anwar Ibrahim）对其五年有期徒刑、剥夺五年政治权利的判决的上诉——这一决定令人震惊，毫无道理可言。总理纳吉布政府以鸡奸罪名起诉安瓦尔显然是别有用心（马来西亚很少有人因此罪名被起诉）。不利于安瓦尔的证据显然站不住脚；法院接受这样的证据是公然示弱。
