Anwar says likely to be suspended from Parliament

KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIAN opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said on Friday he was likely to be suspended from parliament, after a disciplinary probe against him refused to hear his defence.
The government in April urged action against Anwar after he criticised its 'One Malaysia' national unity slogan, saying it had been copied from the 'One Israel' political alliance of former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak in 1999.
Muslim-majority Malaysia has no diplomatic relations with Israel and is a supporter of a Palestinian state.
'They charged me, they should hear me,' Anwar told a news conference, after two opposition parliamentarians sitting on the disciplinary committee withdrew, saying the committee had made its decision without hearing Anwar's testimony.
The opposition leader said he had been prepared to give evidence but could now only wait for the decision, which he said will 'most likely be suspension'.
Anwar, a former deputy prime minister who was sacked and jailed a decade ago on sex and corruption charges seen as politically motivated, is currently on trial over new allegations of illicit relations with a young male aide. 'All these attacks against me, it's not coincidental, we can see that there is a concerted attempt at denying me my right to be heard as the leader of the opposition,' he said. -- AFP

However, apparently this video was taken a few years ago in Russia. Hence the source is unknown and the location too but it is a very real video, not a graphic picture.
