The shadow cabinet of the Maldives United Opposition has vowed to reinstate police officers if they are sacked for refusing to enforce “unlawful orders” and crack down on opposition gatherings.
At the fourth shadow cabinet meeting Wednesday, members also discussed setting up “a special ‘Whatsapp’ phone hotline to impart relevant information to police personnel seeking to refuse unlawful orders from superiors,” the opposition coalition said.
The inducement for police officers comes ahead of the MUO’s first rally in Malé tonight, which is due to take place without permission from the government to use a public space.
