SHAH ALAM, SEP 14: KEADILAN leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s lawyer, Kimberley Motley was permitted to meet her client for the continuation of the review process on his alleged February 2015 sodomy suit.
KEADILAN Communication Director Fahmi Fadzil informed through a brief statement this evening.
“Kindly be informed that the Home Ministry has just allowed lawyer Kimberley Motley to meet her client at 2 pm,” he said in the statement.
Motley who is also a prominent lawyer in the United States, was earlier prevented from meeting her client, when her application was rejected by the Sungai Buloh Prison Department on September 10.
The application had previously been faxed to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi.
Motley has been practising law in the United States and Afghanistan, and had also trained hundreds of lawyers in Afghanistan.
She also researched juvenile justice on an international level.
Earlier, Motley made a statement that she has sufficient evidence to prove that Anwar is innocent.
