The Human Rights Commission of the Maldives (HRCM) has expressed concern that the media has been publishing “personal telephone calls” and “other types of private conversation” between people.
HRCM issued a press release noting that article 24 of the constitution says that ‘everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his private communications, and that every person must respect these rights with respect to others.’
‘’We have noted that this causes people to hesitate before conducting private conversation,’’ said the statement.
“[Furthermore] article 52 of the constitution says that no evidence shall be obtained by unlawful means.’’
