The main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) is planning to hold a nation-wide protest on September 11 against the recent re-imprisonment of former President Mohamed Nasheed.
Mohamed Shifaz, the party’s vice president, said: “We will hold a major rally in Malé on September 11. There will be protests across the country on the same day, our aim is to free President Nasheed.”
The September 11 protests will be the first opposition protest since June.
The MDP had called off street protests after Nasheed was transferred to house arrest in late-June amidst talks between the MDP and the government on the release of political prisoners.
