Majlis to resume with amendments proposed for terror law

Details of the amendment were not available, as Mohamed Saud Hussain, the Progressive Party of the Maldives MP who is sponsoring the proposal, was not responding to calls.

The watchdog Human Rights Commission of the Maldives has urged changes to the law, arguing it presented obstacles for fundamental freedoms, while opposition politicians said they feared the vague definitions of terrorism in the law could be used to silence dissent.

The Attorney General’s office was not responding to inquiries.
