It is good news that the appeal court judge allowed Parti Keadilan Rakyat (Keadilan) Youth chief Mohd Ezam Mohd Nor appeal on his conviction and sentence.

He was both acquitted and discharged - meaning I think, that the persecution and conviction was wrong.

It is such a shame that this judgment was handed down barely a month after the 11th general election.

I wonder if a certificate of urgency was filed for the appeal to be heard and disposed of before the general election.

I think I am not the only one having this thought.
