Journalists must be allowed to do their jobs without any hindrance, harassment or assault.
We call on the @PoliceMv to immediately investigate these incidents and ensure journalists are able to work safely, especially when covering protests.
According to MJA monitors who covered the press as part of our Media Rights Monitoring program, police officers deliberately targeted journalists, photographers and videographers on order to hinder the coverage of the protest.
I was brutally attacked by SO, while I was showing my press card multiple times. I was hit by the shield even, while I was just waiting on the pavement. Is this what HE @MMuizzu define as "minivan noosverikan"?

Male' City Mayoral Candidate @zariyand warns of the dangers of combining elections in an environment where the president has already consolidated the powers of the executive, legislature, and the judiciary through amendments to the constitution. He notes the failures of parliament in its duties of oversight, and urges the public to vote 'no' in the referendum to ensure our leaders at least remain accountable to the people.

This evening in Male’, @MDPSecretariat Deputy Chairperson Ibrahim Waheed and Upper North Province President Akram Kamaaluddin recorded video of my wife and our 10-year-old daughter on the street. The footage was later posted via the anonymous account.
These self-proclaimed advocates for democracy, women’s rights, and children’s rights stoop to such undignified tactics. This is the cheap, divisive politics the MDP has long represented.
