Anwar cleared
Malaysian opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has been cleared of sodomy charges for a second time after a court found DNA evidence being used by prosecutors to be unreliable.
Ibrahim was jailed on a previous sodomy charge in 2000 before winning an appeal in 2004.
Ibrahim is married with six children and his wife has stood by him despite both charges – which are widely believed to have been trumped up for political reasons.
