Police investigate man who called Muizzu a hypocrite and apostate

Police have launched an investigation into Ahmed Faiz of Pink House, Seenu Feydhoo, for allegedly calling President Mohamed Muizzu an apostate and hypocrite during an opposition protest on May 2, and have also opened a separate investigation into lawyer and PNF Senate member Ahmed Asif over an alleged Qazf charge against Muizzu. The article notes that similar accusations made against political opponents by government-aligned individuals have not prompted police investigations.
