I'm spending more and more time here at the Kuala Lumpur High Court where the Anwar trial is taking place. It promises to drag on and on. The accuser and first witness for the prosecution, Saiful Bukhari still hasn't been cross examined by the defense pending outstanding issues involving contempt of court, the basis of the case and whether the prosecution has met its obligation to provide evidence to the defense.

Last week I invited lawyer Imtiaz Malik to provide a briefing for the journalists at Al Jazeera English in Kuala Lumpur on Malaysian laws and precedents regarding media coverage of ongoing cases and contempt of court and subjudice issues. He pointed out that sedition is always a possibility too. Thanks Malik.
