RaajjeTV was forced to shut Thursday night after the Maldives military threatened the country’s media.
The station discontinued its live broadcast at around 11 pm, citing a warning from the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) it would close down news outlets that were “threatening national security.”
“As the most watched TV station in the Maldives, we regret that the temporary suspension of our regular broadcast would deprive the public their right to information – a right that is vital for the public, especially at this critical time.”
