Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim is confident that he will not be behind bars after the Federal Court hears his appeals next week as "there is no reason", whether legally or politically, to convict him.
He said the Court of Appeal, which convicted him earlier this year of sodomising his former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, did so to prevent him from running in the Kajang by-election.
"If it is according to the laws, I will not be imprisoned. If I am afraid of the laws, I would not have returned (from overseas).
"They will not be able to convict me because there is no evidence. What reason are they going to use this time?
"The Kajang by-election is over," he said, when met by reporters at the 'Rakyat Hakim Negara' campaign in Klang today.
