Anwar trial begins
Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim faced his 24-year old male accuser in court yesterday in a trial for sodomy that could see one of Asia's best-known politicians jailed for 20 years.
The 62-year-old denies the charge, which he says is a plot to end his democratic challenge to a government which has ruled the Southeast Asian country for 52 years.
