The Human Rights Commission of the Maldives (HRCM) has said it will hold a ‘sitting’ this Thursday in protest against a spate of violent criminal offenses committed recently.
HRCM has said it will gather near the Tsunami Monument in Boduthakurufaanu Magu at 8:00pm, and will remain sitting until 12:00am.
In a press release issued by HRCM, the organisation requested all persons attending the event to wear black clothing and wave a national flag.
Media Coordinator for HRCM Ahmed Rilwan said the event was not a protest, “but just an awareness program.”
