The reformasi movement gained renewed fervour today when three Keadilan leaders led an hour-long demonstration outside the Federal Court building in Kuala Lumpur while awaiting for jailed ex-deputy premier Anwar Ibrahim to appear from his bail hearing.

Party vice-president Tian Chua, Youth chief Mohd Ezam Mohd Nor, supreme council member N Gobalakrishnan and some 250 supporters lined the road leading to the court's back entrance chanting 'Reformasi' and 'Bebas Anwar' (Free Anwar).

They also belted out songs under the watchful eyes of some 40 police personnel. Also present were members of the Federal Reserve Unit with a water cannon truck.

However, no untoward incident was reported and the crowd dispersed peacefully after Anwar was taken back to the Sungai Buloh prison.
