"I believe that every citizen has the freedom, the right to do whatever is not prohibited by the Constitution and the law. Their civil and constitutional rights cannot be infringed upon by the government or any state institution," he said.
President Muizzu emphasised that the role of the government and state institutions is to maintain the rule of law within the framework of the Constitution and the law.
