Human Rights violated under the regime of Gayyoom
The International community must
act now against the human rights abuses at the
hands of Gayyoom's brutal associates. The abuse
of power is a daily practice of this regime. For
international community it is essential to
monitor these abuses and bring those who are
responsible to justice. It is also essential to
go beyond this and start asking questions as to
the possible causes of such abuses.

 For
real reform, the reform meetings must go on
On the 9th June 2004, President
Gayyoom launched his democratic reform
programme. Since then, pro-democracy meetings
have been banned, peaceful rallies have been
brutally suppressed and pro-democracy activists
imprisoned and tortured. The Maldives has become
markedly more authoritarian and markedly less
democratic. To Maldivians and international
observers alike, the reform programme rings
hollow. Allowing reform meetings would be a real
step to get it back on track.

Concern over the Health of MDP Spokesman Latheef
Mr. Latheef was taken ill yesterday. He was
having chest pain and breathing difficulties. He
has been working round the clock and that could
have brought it about. Furthermore, as any
Father, he has been very depressed and sad about
the continued detention of his family member,
especially his daughter Jennifer Latheef. He
puts on a brave face but who will not be hurt
when their family are kept as hostages of
Gayyoom and his Police Dogs. We wish Latheef a
quick recovery.
DEMOCRACY MAKES PEOPLE HAPPY
'Happiness not only depends on economic factors
but also on how well developed democracy is. The

Teaching

The professionalism of the Sri Lankan and Indian English teachers was recognised and they were allowed to exercise their own judgment in their work. The relationship between the

Gayyoom's NSS
police says people have 'no right' to
assemble
Nearly
500 people gathered around the
Tetrapod Squareby 10:30 pm tonight
to show
their defiance of Gayyoom's rule. However,
Gayyoom's NSS security force came to the
square and ordered the crowd to disperse. The
crowd explained that they had every right to
assemble as it is enshrined in the constitution.
However, police said that their order was to
disperse the crowd
and that the public had no right to
assemble without permission from the government.
This is a perfect example of Gayyoom's
total disregard for the constitution of
Maldives. When the public challenged the police
saying the constitution gave them the right
to assemble in public places, the police said
'forget about the constitution, go home, that is
an order'.
Police arrived at the square around midnight
and the number had grown substantially. Head of
Police, Minister of Home Affairs Umar Zahir was
also constantly cruising through the crowd.
It is reported that more than 8 police vehicles
came to the square and arrested two
protesters. Furthermore, reports are coming that
they are looking for Mr. Nazeer Jamaal, former
Presidential
candiate.
As seen in the photo, people sat quietly
and peacefully on the
seawall at the Eastern Corner in the Tetrapod
Square . Gayyoom is crazy to want to
stop people
expressing their views
(and stop
them from thinking) when members of their
families and friends are held in detention in
contravention of the rule of
law and tortured and raped. He cannot make Maldivians
accept that he is
God. The people of Maldives
hate him and want him out. More people are
expected to turn up at the square tomorrow night
and even more on
Friday for the weekly 'bash'
that is now being planned. Gayyoom's security
forces will have to block off the area if he
does not want people to go there.
'Peaceful
protest must be allowed and the constitution
must be upheld,' said Ali by telephone. "We will
defend our constitution even if we have to
sacrifice our lives.
'Maumoon is a dog,
and we
want him out of our country or behind bars,' said
Ali in an angry voice.
Editorial
 How much does Gayyoom cost us?
More than US$71.5 million over the past six years
Gayyoom's budgeted expenses are at least 44% and 55% respectively of the National Education and Health budgets for 2004...
He is the richest man in the Maldives because he has the whole wealth of the nation at his disposal and no one dares to question him, fearing repercussions which could affect their jobs, livelihood and families, bringing years of solitary confinement or even a life sentence in jail...

A young women commits suicide by plunging to
her death from 6th
floor
Mariyam Najeeb, a young
woman, jumped from the 6th
floor of a building and killed herself reportedly after breaking up with
her long-term boyfriend. The incident occurred early
this morning and some details have been published
in the local media despite family requests not
to do so.
Maldivians must learn from these tragic incidents,
and ensure that similar events don't occur again. It is
customary in Maldives to discuss personal problems with
friends but it is important that these matters are discussed with family as well. Furthermore, if
a problem keeps on getting
worse it is important to
seek professional help. Whether it is a relationship
problem or financial, it is important to discuss it with
friends and family. Although there
aren't many practising psychiatrists in the
Maldives, any doctor would be able to help and offer
guidance. Doctors and councillors must show
sympathy to
their troubled patients and try to ensure that these vulnerable in
the society are given full attention.
Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Mariyam
and we hope that this lesson remains in our memories so
that we can all try to stop any such tragedy from
happening again.
Dhivehi Observer would like to send its deepest sympathy
to the family on behalf of the editorial board and its
readership during this very tragic time.
Gayyoom robs Maldivians of their religion
Yet again Maumoon Gayyoom has performed one of his
pseudo-religious stunts and tried (unsuccessfully) to mesmerize the masses
into believing that the political mess he has created in this country (and
the grimy, stinking legacy he is going to leave behind him) is all for the
good of the people. The manipulative opportunist that he is, he used the
occasion of the beginning of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, to drum
his political agenda to the public.

Reformists begin gathering at Tetrapod Square (Lonuziyaaraiy
Kolhu) in Male'
More than 200 reformists gathered around the square
tonight after the announcement on Dhivehi Observer.
Police presence was heavy but reformist just sat on the
seawall and discussed politics and the need for unity.
According to one of the members of the group, police
were showing up every now and then and because of that
many were scared. Nevertheless, it is believed that more
people will gather and that this will become a mass
demonstration in a very short period of time.
More people are planning to gather in the square this
coming Friday.
People are still scared of the police and the treatment
of police on Black Friday is still very sharp in their
memories.
We want Gayyoom to block SMS, telephone communication
and other medium, even internet because we will use
these means to alert people to gather in the square.

Announcement
Reform Gatherings must begin now
We must defend our country from the tyranny
of Maumoon. Please go to Tetrapod Square - Eastern Corner of Male' every
night and show your support for freedom and liberty. Peaceful gatherings
will take place every night from 10:30 pm. Remember Article 25 and 26
gives us the right to do so. Gayyoom will be breaking the law and
undermining the constitution of the country by banning any such peaceful
protests. The international community will be alert to the developments
in the Maldives. People must unite to save our nation from the claws of
Dictator Gayyoom and his family. The constitution must be amended in
consultation with the people of Maldives and not according to the wishes
of the Dictator. A united people is the only way to influence the
outcome of the reform process. Lets not let the Dictator to decide our
future. Show your solidarity and demand justice for those who have
risked everything and are suffering for the sake of our beloved nation.
Similar gathering shall be organised in each inhabited island at the
same time as well. This show of unity will yield the desired results in
no time.

never will God change the condition of a people until they change it
themselves." -

Parents
on Feydhoo island
asked to pay
teacher's salary
A
teacher on Feydhoo island
has not been paid for
seven months. There have
been other delays in
payment of teachers'
salaries, but this time
the parents of the island
have been asked to
contribute Rf110 each to
cover the salary.
In
the past, delayed payments
were caused by the
President's Office which
would take up to four or
five months to put new
teachers on the payroll.
This practice affected
both Maldivian and foreign
teachers, but once on the
payroll, payments were not
delayed again and all
moneys owed were paid.
It
is apparent that the
education budget is now in
trouble. Who is taking the
money?
What lies ahead for the reform movement in Maldives?
Gayyoom has lost the little support he once had in the islands because of his brutality in the jails of Maldives and during his crackdowns this year. The NSS violence he has ordered in this latest two month bogus
'emergency', which includes torture and raping of detainees, has made him despised and hated even more. Locking up some of the most respectable and courageous people in
Maldives is seen as a crime against the people themselves. Gayyoom has angered thousands of Maldivians and created
a rajje of enemies since Black Friday.

History: How Hitler Became
a Dictator
The overwhelming
majority of Germans did not seem to mind that
their personal freedom had been taken away, that
so much of culture had been destroyed and
replaced with a mindless barbarism, or that
their life and work had become regimented to a
degree never before experienced even by a people
accustomed for generations to a great deal of
regimentation.... The Nazi terror in the early
years affected the lives of relatively few
Germans and a newly arrived observer was
somewhat surprised to see that the people of
this country did not seem to feel that they were
being cowed.... On the contrary, they supported
it with genuine enthusiasm. Somehow it imbued
them with a new hope and a new confidence and an
astonishing faith in the future of their
country.

where the respect we receive reflect the duties we owe, so that
freed from the tyranny of poverty, ignorance and fear, we could live
together in spirit of solidarity tolerance and respect.

PAST, TO DREAM A BIGGER DREAM
WE ARE
FRIENDS AND EQUALS
WE ARE
DIVERSE AND UNIQUE
FOR
SOMETHING BIGGER THAN OUR DIFFERENCES
WE BELIEVE
IN FREEDOM AND COOPERATION
WE ARE A
CULTURE EMERGING
AND WE
DISCERN OUR OWN TRUTH
WE GO IN
MANY DIRECTIONS BUT WE REFUSE TO DISPERSE
WE ARE THE
WAVE OF EVOLUTION
WE ARE IN
EVERY CHILDS EYES
WE FACE
THE UNKNOWN WITH WONDER AND EXCITEMENT
BECAUSE
OUR VOICE IS WITHIN EVERYONE
WE ARE
BUILDING A NEW MALDIVES
NO
BOUNDARIES CAN HOLD US!
