The police have rejected the third attempt by lawyers to gain access to the six Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) activists detained under the Emergency Ordinance 1969 (EO). <br /> <br />Lawyer Edmund Bon (left) told Malaysiakini this morning that the police rejected their request to meet with the detainees today. <br /> <br />"Police rejected our visit at 2.30pm today," he said in a text-message. <br />Bon confirmed that the lawyers will file habeas corpus applications tomorrow to have the detainees released, despite failing to get them to sign their respective affidavits. <br /> <br />The lawyers will have to get the family members to file affidavits for the applications, which the government could challenge in court. <br /> <br />PSM supporters and lawyers first tried to meet the six on Saturday when they were arrested but were told by the police that they could only do so on Monday. <br /> <br />Full story: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/168935 <br /> <br />Camera/Editing: Tan Jiun Wuu
