Family members of Addu City fishermen have joined ongoing protests against MIFCO in Hulhumeedhoo Island, demanding overdue payments for fish sold, with some payments more than 80 days late. The demonstrations have suspended operations at MIFCO's fish processing plant and cut power to its facilities, while fishermen vow to continue until they are compensated.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
The protests, which began on Thursday in Hulhumeedhoo Island, have seen participants from more than 17 fishing vessels call for immediate action from the government and MIFCO.

We find ourselves in a situation where we are struggling to cover essential expenses such as electricity, water, and phone bills, resorting to borrowing for basic necessities from local shops.
I completely disagree with the fishermen's demonstrations near the Hulhumeedhoo fish factory in Addu.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The protests erupted after MIFCO failed to pay fishermen for the fish sold, with some payments overdue by more than 80 days.
