A man who promised to be a democratic leader keeps Judges under Military arrest and continues with the suspension of Judges Salaries, while employed gangs of ex-prisoners to attack peaceful protestors

Maldives wasted three years under President Nasheed, with the media, parliament, and the executive all under his control. As if it is not enough now he is trying to claim the Judiciary by any mean possible.

Politically Nasheed has no ideology, economically he has destroyed the nation by selling the nation’s biggest asset, the national airport to the vulturistic GMR a company from India that has tripled ground handling charges and fuel sure charges to a level, Airlines such as Qatar, Sri Lankan and even Thomson are stopping their flights to Maldives; therefore indirectly damaging the country’s basic economic activity the Tourism Sector.

The man has his uncles, nephews and nieces running the show for him, often engaging in the abuse of state funds to maintain control within and also maintain their high maintenance life styles.

Nasheed belongs to a family that has been engaging in terrorist activities, from his grandfather’s attempt to assassinate Former President Nasir, to his uncle and many other family members’ involvement in the execution of a Coup in 1988 against President Maumoon. Finally when he got there he is all about maintaining his Presidency, nothing else.

He claims that he is the Commander Chief of the Military and the Police and attempted to control the Judiciary by locking up Judge Abdulla. While Judge Abdulla remains under solitary confinement in a Military base the people have been protesting against his arrest for over 3 weeks. Brutal attacks against peaceful protestors left victims in ICU while the heavy handed crackdown continues with 400 arrests made in 2 weeks.

He is continuing his reign of terror refusing to release Judge Abdulla, withholding the Judges salaries as well as declaring that the Judiciary is suspended until he is allowed to have his way with it. We thought the UN announcement that they will send a team next week will slow his reign of terror down, however he is causing more and more anarchy, by employing gangs constituting of prisoners he released in the name of second opportunity. They were reckless in their attacks against opposition members and tonight they cut off the cable and damaged the transmission of the Private TV Chanel Dhitv.
