Conviction against Malaysian opposition leader
mercredi 11 février 2015 à 13:00Anwar Ibrahim, the main opposition leader of Malaysia, has been convicted of having homosexual sex.
This verdict was unjust, regardless of what Anwar Ibrahim actually did, because it is wrong to forbid homosexuality. This injustice is widespread in regimes dominated by repressive religions such as Islam and Christianity.
The government suggests that his assistant brought the case. Does the assistant claim Ibrahim raped him? Powerful men do sometimes act that way. But it is also possible that the political establishment pressured him to make a false charge.
