Police have arrested Bersih chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah and the electoral watchdog’s secretariat secretary Mandeep Singh.
Earlier, a police team from Bukit Aman as well as officers from the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SMM) raided the Bersih office in Petaling Jaya at about 3pm.
A tweet by Bersih said the police seized 10 computers, two mobile phones, and documents related to their payroll and bank accounts during the two-hour raid.
The electoral watchdog is being investigated under Section 124C of the Penal Code, which is related to attempts to carry out activities detrimental to parliamentary democracy.
Maria and Mandeep would be taken to the Petaling Jaya police headquarters.
