901 Free Anwar' Campaign

9th January 2012, the trial of Anwar's Sodomy came to the end.


A campaign, aimed at seeking justice for Anwar, was launched by PKR at the parking compound of High Court.

In order to fight injustices, my friends and I decided to participate the campaign.


These are the photos that I captured on that day:
