Malaysian police free all 471 protesters

Ref: Videos: Malaysian police, protesters clash in Bersih 3.0

Malaysian police on Sunday said all 471 people arrested during a demonstration for free and fair elections, including a senior opposition lawmaker, have been freed.

"We have released all of them," national police spokesman Ramli Yoosuf told AFP, adding that the MP had been identified as Tian Chua from Anwar Ibrahim's Keadilan party.

Security forces would decide later whether to file charges against the demonstrators, he said.

Speculation is rife that Najib could call polls as early as June, and Bersih is demanding elections be postponed until full reforms are implemented.
