FAC News - Monday, March 24, 2003 10:23 PM Day one of the Anwar Ibrahim Appeal Hearing: “Shocking and chilling”; Evidence against Anwar was fabricated “Shocking
and chilling!” That was how Christopher Fernando, Anwar Ibrahim’s lead counsel, described
the conspiracy to fabricate evidence against the one-time Deputy
Prime Minister of Fernando then related the meetings another lawyer, Manjeet Singh Dhillon, had with the two Chief Prosecutors, one of whom is now the Attorney-General. In the meetings, the two prosecutors, Abdul Gani Patail and Azhar Mohamad, used extortion and blackmail to try to get Manjeet’s client, Dato’ Nalla Karuppan, to fabricate evidence against Anwar. The prosecutors threatened Dato’ Nalla with the death sentence unless he agrees to testify that he was instrumental in procuring women for Anwar. Dato’ Nalla, however, refused, saying that, short of lying, there is no way he could do that. They then continued to threaten both him and his family. At first they wanted him to implicate Anwar with two women, then three, then four, and finally they settled for five women, Fernando revealed. The prosecutors also admitted they were looking into matters on behalf of the Prime Minister. On The Attorney-General apologised for not taking action on Manjeet’s complaint while the two prosecutors remained silent and did not deny the allegation. They also tried to blackmail another of Manjeet’s client, Dr Munawar Anees, to implicate Anwar with sexual misconduct. “This shows the police not only tried to get Azizan to lie, but also Dato Nalla and Dr Munawar as well,” said Fernando. The court
was told, Anwar did not leave office until More on the Manjeet Singh Dhillon matter here: Anwar Ibrahim's Affidavit to submit fresh evidence for his Judical Review Letter from Manjeet Singh Dhillon to Tan Sri Mohtar Abdullah, 12th October 1998 Statutory Declaration by Manjeet Singh Dhillon, November 9th, 1998 Judiciary panics: Case postponed - FAC News Mar 18
