The protest was announced following the former president Mohamed Nasheed transferred to Maafushi Prison، after he was kept house arrest.
The document given to President Nasheed by Correctional Service indicating that he has been transferred to house detention permanently، was declared fake and the case has been presented to the police as well.
During the investigation of this case، President Nasheed’s wife، former First Lady Laila and Nasheed’s lawyer، Hassan Latheef was presented to the police station. Police also entered and inspected Laila’s current residence، Yaagoothuge upon a court warrant.
Earlier، discussions of peace were held between MDP and the government، the results of which would be good according to both MDP and the government. However، these discussions have also stopped and MDP has decided to not take part in any further discussions.
MDP and the opposition parties held their last mass protest on May 1st، “Mayday Protest”.
