This is a very interesting article. Different people will come to different conclusions after reading it.
My own take is that the people of Hulhudhu are fortunate to have a council president as mature and restrained as @JaaJameel. He doesn’t take action or approve firings of people out of temporary anger triggered by other councillors. I agree with Jaadulla on a lot of things, including that many of the issues raised are petty. That said, I think it would help in future if Jaadulla were more transparent about what he is doing, even when those actions do not require the council’s approval. That would be good diplomacy.
Moving a couple of bricks does not require and should not require a council vote. These are executive level decisions. Otherwise, it becomes very difficult to run a council.
The jailing of journalists @MrLeevaaan and @MohamedShahzan both journalists for @AdhadhuMV marks another shameful chapter in the government’s attempt to intimidate the press and silence public dissent.
It is also a clear indication of government interference in the judicial process.
These attacks on press freedom and free expression will not succeed. We will never waver in defending the hard-won rights and freedoms guaranteed to every citizen under the Constitution.
Deeply alarmed by the order from the Criminal Court silencing public discussion of the Aisha documentary. Raiding newsrooms, banning journalists from travel, and now gagging citizens are all hallmarks of a dictatorship. President Muizzu is mistaken if he thinks fear and intimidation can silence Maldivians. We will defend our constitutional freedoms at any cost.
This raid is not about a documentary that was aired a month ago. The aim is to seize equipment and halt our operations. I urge fellow media professionals, the legal community, and the public to stand with us.
Proud of the Adhadhu team for their courage and commitment to truth.
@circlex_Cx@MickailNaseem 1. Mikaeel stayed when Anni left
2. Mikaeel tried so hard to re elect MDP govt while Anni was busy with roolhaalan
3. Anni have failed in elections and leading MDP to success since Anas (Male Mayor 2021)
Will that be good enough?

Strongly condemn @policemv’s use of excessive force against MDP member Hussain Riyaz tonight. He is currently being treated at IGMH after suffering a seizure. Police violence against peaceful protesters must be investigated.
