Police tape drawn outside PPM office
The Progressive Congress Coalition on Sunday vowed to continue protests demanding the banning of NGO Maldivian Democracy Network over the alleged slander of Islam in a 2016 report, despite a police line and cones placed outside the opposition’s main office in Malé.
Nightly demonstrations outside the Progressive Party of Maldives office are being staged in violation of the 2013 freedom of assembly law, police said on Sunday, warning of action against unlawful gatherings.
Briefing the press on Sunday afternoon, opposition MP Ahmed Shiyam said the protest against MDN will resume outside the party office on the capital’s outer ring road at 8:30pm on Monday night.
