The police are investigating online anti-Islamic social media activity, officials have confirmed.
A police media official confirmed that the investigation was initiated by the police, but that they have since received similar complaints from the public.
Minivan News has learned that the police investigation is particularly focused on a Facebook page titled ‘Dhivehi Atheists/Maldivian Atheists’, though police have said that the investigation is not focused on a particular page but all such unlawful activity will be investigated.
Religious conservative Adhaalath party has condemned the page for insulting the Prophet and God by drawing offensive cartoons. Adhaalath called to block the page and take action against everyone behind the page.
