Malaysia opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim on that regard, noted to condemn the  injustice that being perpetrated and call on the Bangladeshi government to stop the farcical trial and allowing process to prevail.

“The requirements of justice, the rule of law and a fair trial warrant that the suspects be accorded full rights and facilities to defend themselves and not be subjected to a process which is fundamentally flawed,”he said.

Anwar urged, the safeguards and protection given to all persons under the constitution must be followed in letter and in spirit.

This would apply equally, he said, to members of the opposition who should not be persecuted because of political differences  We therefore urge the authorities to take immediate action to put things right.
