Catatan media sosial bertajuk “‘Bukan Islam tak perlu patuh pada titah Raja’ — Peguam Edmund Bon” yang muncul dalam halaman Facebook adalah berniat untuk memprovokasi para pembacanya dan menghasut rasa benci. Jangan terperdaya.
Astro Awani | Edmund Bon is currently being investigated for his statement that “non-Muslims are not subjected to fatwas or the Shariah court”. He appeared to be the third lawyer in recent times to be investigated under the Sedition Act 1948, after N. Surendran and Prof Dr Azmi Sharom.
The Edge Markets | The investigation centres on a news article published on 20 January 2014 where Edmund Bon was quoted as saying “decrees and fatwas cannot be used against non-Muslims because it violates their legal and religious rights”. Edmund joins a string of others being charged or investigated for sedition.
The Malaysian Insider | Bukan Islam tidak boleh didakwa di Mahkamah Syariah. Jadi mana-mana fatwa daripada Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan tidak terpakai kepada bukan Islam, kata peguam Edmund Bon, seperti diputuskan oleh Mahkamah Persekutuan pada 2009 dalam kes Sulaiman Takrib lawan Kerajaan Negeri Terengganu; Kerajaan Malaysia (pencelah) & Kes Lain.
The Malaysian Insider | Constitutional experts say royal decrees and fatwa are not binding on non–Muslims whose religious rights are guaranteed under the Malaysia Agreement 1963. Edmund Bon pointed out that fatwa rulings or edicts were only applicable to Muslims as decided by a three-man Federal Court bench in 2009 in the case of Sulaiman Takrib.
