The Bersih organisers, Ambiga included are called to IPD to give statement while those who speak at the launch are expected to be called in later. Meanwhile there are 7 arrests from those who try to promote the Bersih Rally in KL and Johor.
Update: arrests around the country has reached 91, consisting 2 big contingents of PSM members from Johor(released) and Penang(still detained). More are expected to be arrested to make the public panic about a blanket crack down! But the over-reaction may also turn the public off and attract more participants to the July 9th rally.
