Opinion
Support for the demonstration planned for this Friday

Article 26 of our Constitution states: "Persons shall be free to assemble and in a manner that does not contravene the law". This Friday (tomorrow 12th August 2005) I wish to exercise this right to oppose the various injustices inflicted on the people of Maldives by the Zaeem. I hope to attend Friday prayers, as I usually do, at the Islamic Centre and afterwards join the people who plan to gather at Jumhooree Maidhaan to show solidarity and support for the movement to free all political prisoners unjustly held in confinement by the Zaeem. more

Editorial
Parliamentarians must act like role models

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

 Holy Qur'an 13:11


THE DREAM

By the strength of our common endeavour, to achieve what we cannot do alone, to grant each of us the power to realize our full potential, and the means to create for this and future generations a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many not the few, 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.

[Clause 4 - Labour Party - UK]


Today's Message to Gayyoom

Time to go away... you have no other choice!
