Anwar's lawyer to be charged with sedition



PKR vice-president N Surendran is scheduled to be charged with sedition in a Sessions Court tomorrow for for his comments on the party's de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim's Sodomy II case.

The party's legal bureau chief, Latheefa Koya, said Surendran received a call from a police investigating officer saying that a warrant of arrest had been issued against him.

"The police have not recorded any statement from Surendran yet, but he is scheduled to be charged.

"He has been told to prepare money to be posted for bail and find a bailor," Latheefa told Malaysiakini when contacted this afternoon.

Latheefa described the charge which Surendran is likely to face as outrageous as his statement had yet to be recorded. However, police have proceeded to charge him.

She guessed that the authorities are acting on the police reports lodged against Surendran.

Earlier today, Anwar in a press statement accused Umno ofinterfering in his appeal against the Sodomy II conviction by harassing Surendran.

PKR also issued a similar statement by its media director, Fahmi Fadzil, saying Surendran will be charged at the Jalan Duta courts.

“This is over him stating that Anwar’s Sodomy II charge is a political conspiracy involving (Prime Minister) Najib Abdul Razak,” said Fahmi.

Lawyers for Liberty also tweeted that Surendran’s statement which he made to the media is based on the defence submission at the Kuala Lumpur High Court trial and hence charging him merely prevents him from discharging his duties as a lawyer.

Surendran, who is also the Padang Serai MP, is expected to be represented by M Puravalen.
