Police in Malaysia have arrested the head of a pro-democracy group in a widening crackdown on critics of the Prime Minister, Najib Razak, who want him to resign.

The United States has accused the Malaysian leader of stealing money from the state development fund, 1MDB. He insists the $681m in his personal bank account was a gift from the Saudi Royal Family, a claim supported by Saudi Arabia and the country's Attorney General has cleared him of any wrongdoing.
