Free Malaysia Today | The government will try to prolong the detention of six PSM members by causing delays in the court process, according to defence lawyer Edmund Bon.
Malaysiakini | The recent detention without trial of six members of PSM under the Emergency Ordinance was reminiscent of the arrests following the 1997-1998 Reformasi, with similar allegations of planning illegal rallies and possession of dangerous weapons, said lawyer Edmund Bon.
The Star | Lawyers acting for the six PSM members detained were dissatisfied over certain procedures taken by the police. Edmund Bon said the police had videotaped the meetings whereas in the past, the police officer could not even be within hearing distance of the meeting.
Malaysiakini | Lawyers representing the PSM 6 detained under the Emergency Ordinance filed a habeas corpus application in the KL High Court seek their release. Edmund Bon, who managed to meet Sarasvathy and Sugumaran when they were brought to appear in another case, said they looked anguished.
Malaysiakini | The police have rejected the third attempt by lawyers to gain access to the six PSM activists detained under the Emergency Ordinance. Edmund Bon said lawyers will file habeas corpus applications tomorrow to have the detainees released, despite failing to get them to sign their respective affidavits.

Malaysiakini | Testifying before the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the death of DAP political secretary Teoh Beng Hock, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission assistant enforcement officer said he felt antagonised by Edmund Bon’s line of questioning yesterday.
Malaysiakini | Bar Council lawyer Edmund Bon told the royal commission of inquiry investigating the death of Teoh Beng Hock that there are inconsistencies in the investigation diaries of a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) assistant enforcement officer, Arman Alies. The discrepancies could be tantamount to tampering with official documents.
The Nut Graph | Edmund Bon talked about his roots being born and bred in Malaysia and his hopes for the country in terms of race relations, politics, human rights, education and social movements.
The Star | A gang of six lawyers got together and set up a tongue-in-cheek law blog (blawg) in 2006 and named it loyarburok.com. A member of the gang, Edmund Bon, said the blog was a platform for young writers to express themselves, to mainstream human rights issues and to empower voters.

LoyarBurok | It’s veteran lawyer Karpal Singh’s turn to weigh in on the current debate regarding the Bar Council. He said the Bar Council’s reticence to stand up on issues can be traced to the 1970s when amendments were made to the Legal Profession Act, stipulating that those holding office in political parties and trade unions could not be elected to the Council. He agreed with Edmund Bon that the Council is toothless against the government.
