Malaysia PM issues demo warning ... used tear gas and water cannon to break up a protest by ethnic Indians in the capital, Kuala Lumpur.
More than 20 people taking part in the banned march were detained by police.
The demonstration was organised by the Hindu Rights Action Force, which is demanding the release from jail of five of its leaders.
Activists say policies granting economic advantages to the ethnic Malay majority discriminate against Indians.
The protesters carried roses to symbolise what they said was a peaceful demand for justice.
They were prevented from marching to parliament to give the flowers to the prime minister, Abdullah Badawi.
