Malaysian politician Anwar Ibrahim has filed a defamation suit against blogger Papa Gomo over a recent sex video allegedly implicating the opposition leader.

He is seeking 100 million ringgit (US$32 million) in damages from the blogger, whose name was stated in the claim as Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris.

Anwar filed his application through lawyer N.Surendran at the Kuala Lumpur High Court civil registry today.

The March 16 posting on www.papagomo.com, featured a single black-and-white photograph showing the naked back of a man in a room.

The post also provided a link to another blog page called “Aksi si Raja Goyang”, which published 13 photographs showing two men groping and kissing each other, purportedly screen grabs of the same video.

Anwar has since denied he was the man in the video.
