Hi, I'm Viyu. Ask me about the stories collected here. I answer only from them, with numbered links to the outlets that published them, and I say so when they do not cover it.
The Maldives Police Service confirmed that an MDP protest in Malé on the night of 3 October turned violent after participants violated the police-approved route, confronted officers, dismantled barricades and seized a police-issued shield. Police said the gathering therefore lost its legal protection as a peaceful assembly under Law No. 2013/1.
