Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim 'has sodomy case to answer'

A Malaysian court has said sodomy charges against opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim are "credible" and his trial must go on.

In the politically charged ruling, Judge Zabidin Mohamad Diah said the prosecution had established a case which must be answered.

The charges, if proven, could send Mr Anwar to jail for 20 years.

Mr Anwar says the charges are a political conspiracy ahead of planned parliamentary elections.
