Some 300 plainclothes, traffic and regular policemen are currently stationed around the complex where PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be charged with sodomy at 10am.
A slight commotion occurred outside the Sessions Court where some 30 journalists and photographers, both foreign and local, are trying to get into the court room. The police, however, are allowing only one from each Press while the online media are put on the waiting list.
Only one reporter from each Press organisation was allowed in at 9am to cover the event and press tags were checked at the entrance.
In a statement released as he arrived at the court, Anwar claimed the charge is a "political persecution".
He also claimed that it was the nation, and not he, who is being put on trial.
He said if detained or refused bail, PKR president Datin Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail will be coordinator for the counsel.
Anwar entered the court room on the fourth floor of the Sessions Court at 9:58am, accompanied by his wife Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Ismail and their three daughters.
Outside the court house, police formed a human barricade to control the crowd comprising curious onlookers, Anwar's supporters and the some media members.
Lawyer Karpal Singh was spotted arriving at the courthouse at 10.02am.

I challenge anwar ibrahim to swear in the name of Allah and by the Holy Al Quran in a mosque and attended all Islam Ulama that he is innocent from the sodomy allegation. All muslims in this country will believe in him if he dares to swear. Now, I am convinced that he is guilty because I have seen and heard the oath sworn by his PA "Demi Allah demi Rasullah I challenge anwar ibrahim.
