Word for word from the report in Transparency Maldives. Open the report
Press freedom is enshrined in the Constitution of the Maldives under Article 28, and journalists must be able to carry out their work without fear of harassment, intimidation, or reprisals.
Transparency Maldives reiterates the calls of the Maldives Journalists Association (MJA) and calls on relevant authorities to take immediate steps to conduct a fair and transparent investigation into the reported allegations.
The lack of accountability, delays in justice, and lack of action in such incidents has fostered a culture of impunity, further endangering press freedom in the country.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
