Police commissioner Ahmed Faseeh told the parliamentary national security committee that "no stone will be left unturned" in the police investigation into the gathering held in capital Male on December 10. Faseeh declined to provide details of the investigation claiming that the case is considered a serious matter. "I will share the details as soon as the investigation is complete. I expect the investigation to be over and the case be sent to the PG [Prosecutor General's] Office in about 15 days. I will share the details with the media and I can bring the investigators along with me if you want," he said. The police commissioner said a suspect has been arrested over the case. Police arrested controversial blogger Ismail Hilath Rasheed on December 14 under an arrest warrant over his alleged involvement in organising the gathering. The Criminal Court extended Hilath's detention to an additional 10 days after the police raised the issue of his writings on his blog. Faseeh stressed that Hilath was arrested under a warrant because the police did not get the chance to arrest him from the crime scene. "I will give the details [later] and I will point out everything even if it includes negligence on our side," he said. "We have done a lot and several have been summoned. We are determining the identity of those believed to have had participated in the gathering via CCTV footage and video clips received from the public and we are summoning them." However, Islamic Minister Dr Abdul Majeed Abdul Bari told the committee members that the law does not state a clear punishment for religious freedom activists. The minister requested the parliament pass the much-needed legislations and suggested that punishments for such actions be included in the Penal Code being revised by the parliament. Guraidhoo MP Ibrahim Riza stressed that punishments can be given under Article 88(a), (b) and (c) of the Penal Code if no clear penalty is stated. Dr Majeed, however, said only soft punishments could be given under the present Penal Code. The Islamic Minister said consultations with legal experts had revealed that there is no way to punish the religious freedom activists under the current laws. "The protestors did not announce that they had abandoned their religion but they called for religious freedom. The law has no defined punishment. They are just defying the religious unanimity of the country. I don't believe there is any legal action against the call as no legal action can be taken until one abandons the religion," he added. A group of about 30 Maldivians gathered at the Artificial Beach on December 10 calling for religious freedom in the Maldives but was attacked with stones. Hilath received a fracture on his head and was treated at Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH). Religious conservative Adhaalath Party and NGO Jamiyyathu Salaf asked the police to investigate and take actions against all those who participated in the gathering. London-based rights group Amnesty International, meanwhile, declared Hilath a prisoner of conscience and called for his "immediate and unconditional" release. The organisation called on authorities to provide Hilath with compensation "for his unlawful detention and ensure his safety and security".
