On April 28, the police arrested Maria Chin Abdullah, who is Executive Director (ED) of Persatuan Kesedaran Komuniti Selangor (EMPOWER).

They wanted to question her over her involvement with #KitaLawan. She had been asked earlier to present herself at the Dang Wangi Police District Headquarters for questioning.

A member of the BERSIH 2.0 Secretariat, programme manager Mandeep Singh, was also brought in for questioning as he waited in the lobby of the police district headquarters.

Both were released on police bail after about an hour.

They, along with Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tsin, are the latest targets of a wave of police investigations and arrests following Anwar Ibrahim’s incarceration and the #KitaLawan rallies.
