On #WorldPressFreedomDay, I salute Maldivian journalists who report with integrity and resolve. A free press is vital to our young democracy.
Under our administration, Maldives climbed from 120th to 72nd place in the global press freedom index, proof that commitment delivers results.
Today, as newsrooms are raided, editors barred from travel, and draconian laws weaponized against the truth, journalists must stand firm with courage and conviction. We must not allow intimidation to win.
