Mal, Maldives: Maldives President
Abdulla Yameen declared a state of
emergency today, giving sweeping
powers to security forces to arrest
suspects ahead of a major anti-
government protest rally, his
spokesman said.
The move came two days ahead of a
planned protest by the main opposition
Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP),
whose leader Mohamed Nasheed is in
jail after a widely criticised conviction
under anti-terror laws.
"President Yameen has declared (a)
state of emergency to ensure the
safety and security of every citizen,"
his spokesman Muaz Ali tweeted. Read @: Maldives Declares State of Emergency - NDTV
