Police have requested the Elections Commission (EC) take action against the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) after claiming to have received noise complaints following the party’s protest held on Wednesday outside the Supreme Court.
Police said the request was made last Thursday in a bid to “avoid such disturbances in the future”.
According to police statement, MDP protesters gathered in the area on Wednesday at about 2:00pm and were using loudspeakers which disturbed people praying at the mosque, people working at private and government offices in the area, and disrupted the work of the Supreme Court.
Police claimed this was against the political party code of ethics, and requested the Elections Commission take action against the MDP under the Political Parties Act.
