The Maldives United Opposition has rescheduled its first rally for July 21 after bad weather in Malé foiled plans last Thursday.
The MUO, launched in London last month by opposition leaders in exile, had planned to hold the rally Thursday night despite the last-minute withdrawal of a permit granted by the housing ministry.
“Regardless of whether we get permission or not, the rally will go ahead on the night of July 21,” MUO Spokesman Ahmed Mahloof told the press last night.
However, permission to use a public venue will be sought from the authorities, he said.
