The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has slammed Home Minister Umar Naseer’s “irresponsible” remarks concerning the disappearance of Minivan News journalist Ahmed Rilwan and death threats sent to journalists and politicians.
In a press release yesterday, the main opposition party referred to Naseer having stated at a press conference on Thursday (November 6) that it was too early to determine whether Rilwan was kidnapped, abducted, or missing.
Naseer’s remarks were an example of his “incompetence and irresponsibility,” the press release stated.
“And we note that it contradicts his earlier statement about gang involvement in Ahmed Rilwan’s disappearance.”
