Regarding the political chaos that has developed in the Maldives, the Supreme court has issued a statement assuring the people that the judicial system will maintain the power of the constitution and rights of the people for every individual without discrimination.
The judicial system is one of the basic elements of democracy and the most important institution for maintaining freedom and rights, says the Supreme Court.
”We appeal to the beloved people to maintain law and order,” said the statement. ”We are one nation, we speak one language, and our religion is Islam.”
The people had established a democratic policy to obtain economic development and a better life, says the Court.
