 However, he also made it clear that he objects to the group&rsquo;s message in their protest yesterday, saying there was no &ldquo;clear message of public interest".


 &ldquo;They have the right to hold non-violent action whether (or not) you agree with their issue. Each citizen has the right to demonstrate,&rdquo; said the human rights lawyer when contacted.


 &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t agree (with the group's message) because, as I understand it, the message was merely to embarrass Ambiga."


 
 
 
 



He also sees no problems with the protest being held in front of Ambiga&rsquo;s house &ldquo;as long as it is non-violent&rdquo;.

 &ldquo;(The demonstration) was done on a public road and not in a private home. To me, there is no problem,&rdquo; he said.


 He was commenting on a demonstration by about 15 people from the Malaysian Armed Forces Veterans Association who

 for about 15 minutes in front of Ambiga&rsquo;s Bukit Damansara home.

Edmund Bon says every citizen has the right to demonstrate so  long as it is non-violent, even if one disagrees with the issue.
