Foreign press on the “Walk of Justice”

While the domestic fronts are keeping a low-profile (with the exception of alternative medias like Malaysiakini, Merdekareview and etc.) in reporting the "Walk of Justice" organized by the Bar Council, foreign press fills in the loop.
- International Herald Tribune: Malaysian lawyers hold rare protest in capital
- Reuters: Malaysia lawyers hold rare demonstration for reform
- AFP: Malaysian lawyers defy police in rare protest march

Good show to everyone involved, only wish I was there.
