Ali Rasheed
Allow me to introduce myself. I am a member of the Writers’ Bureau of Manchester UK.
Even before the Maldives Democratic Party (MDP) was officially recognised by the Maldivian government I was actively involved in trying to promote democracy in the Maldives.
Once we were able to topple the 30 year dictatorship of Abdul Gayoom through the ballot box the MDP was able to rule for three years before we were deposed by the military.
Now I find I am back on top of the persecution list by the government.
