Joint Press Statement Expressing Concern Over Discriminatory Measures Targeting and Profiling Migrants in the Maldives

Five Maldivian civil society organizations issued a joint press statement expressing deep concern over the President's public remarks and the Maldives Police Service's announcement to stop, question, and inspect migrants found outside between 12:00 am and 6:00 am. The signatories call the measure unjustified and discriminatory, and urge the government, the Human Rights Commission of Maldives, and the Attorney General's Office to review its legality and protect migrants' rights.
