National Movement spokesperson Ali Hussain said forcing soldiers and police officers to attend political rallies in uniform is a dangerous and unprecedented precedent in the Maldives. He also criticised the government's handling of the Ras Male' project and called on the public to oppose related legislation.
One outlet so far Only Raajje (English) has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Speaking at a press conference held by the National Movement on Sunday, Ali Hussain stated that despite their protests against the decision to hand over the Ras Male' project to foreign entities, the government has shown no sign of addressing the issue or reconsidering its stance.
Word for word from the report in Raajje (English). Open the report
Compelling soldiers and police officers to attend a political rally or gathering while in uniform is no ordinary occurrence. This is a highly dangerous development and a scene that has remained unprecedented in the Maldives until now.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
