KL Federal Court recognises the Reformasi Movement

The Kuala Lumpur Federal Court today gave official recognition to Malaysia’s Reformasi Movement. This morning, in the Federal Court hearing to consider the appeal on the Habeas Corpus application filed by the Internal Security Act detainees, the Reformasi Movement was mentioned dozens of times.

Both the defense as well as prosecution made specific references to the Reformasi Movement and the “Black 14” gathering, a gathering to commemorate Anwar Ibrahim’s sentencing on the first (corruption) trial on 14 April 1999.
