Malaysian police hold dozens ahead of rally

Malaysian police have arrested dozens of people planning to build up support ahead of a mass rally for electoral reforms, activists said yesterday.
Police have stopped at least one talk to whip up backing for a planned July 9 rally since Friday and held some 70 people, mainly members of the opposition Socialist Party of Malaysia.
The campaign calls for an end to the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition's five-decade rule and for support for the electoral reform rally to be held by activists and opposition parties in the capital Kuala Lumpur, Kohila said.
