Former student Siti Noor Aishah Atam has been fitted with an electronic monitoring device (EMD) after spending nine months in detention for allegedly owning 12 banned books related to terrorism.

This is after her release last Saturday from close to two months in detention without trial under the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 (Poca), human rights NGO Suaram coordinator Amir Abdul Hadi said in a statement.

She was fitted with an EMD and instructed to report to Bukit Aman every Friday for eight weeks, he said.
