VIDEOTAPE PASAL ANWAR
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov. 24 (Reuters) - Malaysia's
opposition said on Wednesday that a 25-minute videotape alleging
that jailed former Anwar Ibrahim had engaged in sodomy had been
distributed in the capital ahead of elections next week.
Raja Petra, spokesman for the opposition Alternative Front coalition,
said the opposition intended to file a police report asking authorities
to investigate the tape, which was shown to reporters at the opposition's
daily news conference.
``The tape is supposed to be a documentary on Anwar and his alleged homosexual activities,'' Raja told Reuters.
He said copies of the tape had been found at
bus stops in the capital.
Anwar was sacked last year and later sentenced to six years in
jail for corruption. He is standing trial on one count of sodomy,
which he denies.
