In yet another blow to Anwar Ibrahim, the Court of Appeal today dismissed the opposition leader's appeal to quash his sodomy charge.

In a unanimous decision, the three-member panel led by Justice Abu Samah Nordin ruled that the trial should proceed despite documentary evidence from three doctors there was no sign of penetration of Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan's rectum.

With the decision, Anwar's sodomy trial which began two weeks ago will continue tomorrow.
