The European Union has a list of 41 individuals identified for targeted sanctions if the political situation in the Maldives does not improve with weeks left for a presidential election.
“I was Rapporteur of the European Parliament Resolution on the Maldives. We have the list. It has 41 names on it; I have seen it,” MEP Tomas Zdechovsky was quoted as saying in EP Today, a monthly news magazine for the European Parliament.
“We have targeted sanctions. Now is time for strategy. The resolution is clear; the articles are clear. We will send a strong message to the EU after this visit.”
Zdechovsky was part of an EU fact-finding delegation that visited the Maldives, whose schedule and agenda were kept secret due to “threats and intimidation”.
