The ruling party’s former headquarters was vandalised Thursday, days after the building was cleared out by President Abdulla Yameen’s supporters, who have since been accused of scrawling anti-Maumoon Abdul Gayoom graffiti on its walls.
An unknown group or person is said to have thrown used motor oil on the gates to the Progressive Party of the Maldives’ former headquarters at Henveiru Thema on Thursday morning.
The attack came after Gayoom, Yameen’s half-brother and former president of 30 years, published photos of insults and swear words that were scrawled on Thema’s walls.
“This is what was written on the walls after PPM’s offices were broken into,” Gayoom said in a Twitter post accompanied by a photo of the graffiti.
