King to receive Anwar report

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): A royal commission investigating injuries sustained by sacked finance minister Anwar Ibrahim while in police custody will present its report to Malaysia's king on Tuesday, government officials said.

The three-member commission will present the report and its recommendations to the king at the royal palace in the capital, the officials said on Monday.

A palace spokesman said it had not yet been decided whether the report would be made public. A commission source said the panel would prefer that the report be made public, but that it was up to the palace to release it.

Anwar was arrested on Sept. 20 and appeared in court nine days later with a black eye and bruises on his neck and arm, stirring international outrage.
