Channel 13 Ordered to Halt Broadcast, Defies Regulator With Yameen Rally Coverage
The Maldives Broadcasting Commission ordered Channel 13, operated by Media Ring Pvt Ltd, to halt its programme schedule from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday night, but the station defied the directive and aired former President Abdulla Yameen's rally at Artificial Beach in Malé live. The commission linked the order to a case over a 30 January 2025 broadcast, and has not yet said whether it will pursue action over the defiance.
