PETALING JAYA: Police have stopped lawyers from the Bersih 2.0 office here as they continue to search for documents for their investigation into activities detrimental to parliamentary democracy.

In its latest tweet, Bersih said: "Police is stopping our lawyers. Can't go in. At Bersih office".

It also tweeted that Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) officials were also part of the raiding team.

Police later said that SSM was not part of the raid.

"SSM raided into the office. Lawyers are still unable to enter," it said.

A police team turned up at the Bersih office at about 4pm on Friday.

In a tweet, Bersih 2.0 secretariat member Mandeep Singh said: "Bukit Aman in our office. Want to rampas (seize) all our barang (belongings). It's a raid under 124C."

Section 124C relates to attempts to commit an activity detrimental to parliamentary democracy and if convicted, a person can be jailed for up to 15 years.

Bersih will hold its fifth rally on Saturday in Kuala Lumpur to call for electoral and democratic reforms.
