Maldives Dictator still holding Judges of the Judiciary in solitary confinement says unless he can sway the Judiciary his way he will not hold the Presidential election in 2013 and will never let the Judge or the Judiciary function. We call on the Military to stop their violent crackdown on protestors and retire to barracks and let people power prevail. This is it.

True to his words from MDP thugs to MP’s to Ministers have denounced the Judiciary and serious criminal cases involving them have been stalled. The Maldives Military is also behaving in the same way refusing to release the Judges they have taken hostage.
While meeting the Military and brainwashing them to sustain their attack, harassing, beating of the protestors that have been protesting for over two weeks against Dictator Nasheed’s illegal arrest of Judges of the Judiciary, he told the Military officers present that he intends to withhold the 2013 Presidential election until he is allowed to have his way with the Judiciary. In a leaked audio he was hard saying that he will never release Judge Abdulla and will never let him enter the Judiciary building. Neither will he obey the Judiciary, declaring the Judiciary of Maldives non-existent as far as he is concerned.
There is no civilian government in the Maldives since Dictator Nasheed came to power, always relying on the army to assert his rule declaring that he will go outside the Constitution to get what he wants. True to his words that has been how he’s been rolling as the President of Maldives. . Rule of law is disputed and challenged by his criminal gang called MDP, with his MP Thimarafushi Musthafa a known terrorist and an organised criminal refusing to appear in court in a case lodged against him for paying a million dollar debt he owed to someone in a bounced check.
It has been over two weeks since Dictator Nasheed ordered the Military to arrest Chief Judge of the Criminal Court Abdulla Mohamed. He has been held in a Military base without access to lawyers, without any outside contact whatsoever since his arrest.
The Maldives Judicial Service Commission, the Supreme Court, the Maldives Human Rights Commission, the United Nation Human Rights Commission and even the EU a huge supporter of the Dictator’s environment crusade have called on him to release Judge Abdulla or charge him with a crime. Of course as the Judge never committed a crime; he is unable to charge him.
His refusal to release the Judge and continuous unlawful arrest of opposition leaders meant the Maldivian people have protested on the streets for over two weeks. How this man thinks he can continue like this is beyond our understanding.
The people power rising in Maldives over two weeks has no impact on the Dictator unlike his predecessor who bowed his head down humbly and let the people have their way even though knew very well that they have been hoodwinked by this cunning treacherous coning man. Now the country corner to corner is regretting their mistake and wants Dictator Nasheed gone in seconds.
Holding of free and fair election in 2013 is the only hope and the only way that Maldives can revert back to a civilian government or as the Military controlled by a crony is not stopping and keeps on impose the will of the Dictator. It increasingly looks like the Maldivian people are truly stuck trapped in an abyss of lawlessness with the country in the hands of a criminal gang that has declared the most important separation of power the Judiciary; void.
We are calling on the international communities that have given deaf ears, to stop giving lip services and become more pro-active and arbitrate dialogues between the political powers of the country so that once again the people can breathe easy.
