The Police Integrity Commission (PIC) has declared it has concluded its investigation into all cases of police misconduct during the controversial transfer of power that took place on February 6-8, 2012.
On February 7 an anti-government protest led by then-opposition political parties and religious scholars, led to a mutiny by a segment of both police and military officers against Nasheed, resulting in his premature resignation from office.
The following day, Nasheed along with the MDP and thousands of people, took to the streets in protest claiming that Nasheed was ousted in a bloodless coup d’état.
However the en masse demonstration met a brutal crackdown from both police and military officers during which MDP MPs and members of the public sustained injuries.
