The opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) condemned the Muizzu administration over reported legal threats against local news website Adhadhu, calling it an attack on press freedom. The dispute stems from a report claiming President Muizzu distributed MVR 5,000 to each PNC MP, which the government denied.
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.
Disclosure of information and freedom of the press are not what dictators want
This government can do nothing but threaten to take harsh action against everything. I condemn the intimidation of journalists and obstruction of journalism
the truth will be revealed, even if the government lies to hide its incompetence
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The controversy stems from a report that claimed President Muizzu had distributed MVR 5,000 to each Progressive National Congress (PNC) MP this month.
