  • 9 years ago
An affidavit produced by the police states that six Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) activists were detained under Emergency Ordinance for their alleged roles in Bersih 2.0, rather than for moves to revive communism.

At a press conference called by PSM today in Kuala Lumpur, lawyer Edmund Bon- who represents the PSM6 - revealed the contents of the affidavit.

It had been filed at the Kuala Lumpur High Court yesterday by a police officer from the criminal investigation department of Bukit Aman federal police headquarters.

This was in reply to affidavits submitted by the family members of the PSM6 to support their habeas corpus application, which will be heard on Friday.

The document clearly states the reasons for the detention of the six.
