Azmin: Accuser was a 'plant' - NST

SHAH ALAM: Threats against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim have forced him to seek refuge at a safe location, his wife Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said.

Wan Azizah, the Parti Keadilan Rakyat president, described the sodomy allegation against Anwar as the second political conspiracy and attempt on her husband's life.

"You must take into account that when he was detained last time, he was beaten up.

"We have to take this into consideration. This is the second political conspiracy in the country," she said.

The police have not indicated that an arrest is imminent. However, a statement from Anwar in connection with the sodomy allegation is being sought.

At the same press conference, PKR vice-president Azmin Ali alleged that Anwar's accuser was a "plant" by "certain personalities to make this vicious attack against Anwar".

He said the complainant joined the party during the election campaign period.
