A petition to the Obama administration to free jailed opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been removed from the White House website for petitions, just as it neared the goal of reaching 100,000 signatures.
The website, which carried the petition earlier, now reads: "The petition you are trying to access has been removed from the site under our Moderation Policy because it is in violation of our Terms of Participation.”
Earlier today, DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang urged more people to sign the petition, which required another 5,000 signatures to hit 100,000, the threshold for a US government response.
Lim tweeted his confidence that the number could be reached by 5pm today, ahead of the March 12 deadline.
But soon after, a check at the website showed that the plea to free Anwar had been removed.
