Malaysia's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has left his refuge in the Turkish ambassador's house after the government guaranteed his personal safety.
Anwar went to the Turkish Embassy on Sunday and subsequently moved to the envoy's residence. He claimed there could be a government plot to assassinate him. Supporters also feared he might be arrested after a 23-year-old aide filed a police complaint accusing Anwar of sodomizing him.
Anwar emerged from the house with his wife Azizah Ismail.
In a telephone interview with The Associated Press earlier, Anwar said he was leaving because the government "made all the undertakings to assure (his) personal safety."
