At the same time, another rally was taking place on the other side of the beach which saw thousands of woman march the streets of Male’, calling for  Waheed to leave […]

    April 5, 2012 at 5:05 pm / Happen on, Politics

The security forces refused to reform itself with the democratic change that was brought to this country. What we are seeing since February 8th, 2012 is blatant proof of this incorrigible security force. Police and security forces continue to show gross inhuman cruelty towards the citizens. The police and the security forces […]
