STORYLINE:
More than 20-thousand protesters massed in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur on Saturday to demand electoral reforms.
But violence marred the country's biggest political rally in years. Riot police used tear gas and detained hundreds of activists.
The opposition-backed rally was the culmination of weeks of intense pressure on Prime Minister Najib Razak's long-ruling coalition to make election laws fairer and more transparent ahead of national polls widely expected by mid-2012.
Opposition leaders accuse the coalition of relying on fraud to preserve its 54-year grip on power, which has eroded in recent years amid mounting complaints about corruption and racial discrimination.
The government insists its current electoral policies are even-handed.
Demonstrators marched on Saturday in defiance of Najib's administration - which declared the rally illegal and warned people repeatedly to avoid it.
Authorities took extraordinary security measures to deter the rally.
They closed roads and train stations, and deployed trucks with water cannons near the Independence Stadium in downtown Kuala Lumpur where activists sought to gather.
Police said they detained 924 people in "Operation Erase Bersih" - a reference to the Bersih coalition of civic groups organising the rally.
