Press Statement: Grave Concerns over threats to media independence and democracy
Transparency Maldives condemned the passage of the Maldives Media Broadcasting Bill during a special parliamentary session, alleging disregard of due process and a petition by 151 journalists. It reported excessive police force against protestors and arrests of journalists, and called on President Dr Mohamed Muizzu not to ratify the bill and on authorities to release arrested journalists and investigate the incidents.
