Adhadhu@AdhadhuMV·
The Criminal Court has issued a travel ban against Hussain Fiyaz Moosa, the CEO of Adhadhu, in connection with an ongoing police investigation into the documentary "Aisha." According to the court order, the travel ban was imposed following intelligence reports received by the police suggesting that Fiyaz was preparing to leave the country. The intelligence report serves as the sole piece of evidence. The travel ban is effective from today until July 26, spanning a duration of three months. The order to prevent Fiyaz from traveling was issued while police were conducting a raid on the Adhadhu office. Authorities stated that the raid was carried out to gather evidence related to the "Aisha" documentary. Under the court order, police decided to seize all electronic devices at the Adhadhu premises. However, legal counsel for the news outlet informed the officers conducting the raid that the seizure of these items exceeded the scope of the warrant and was unlawful. The sudden criminal allegations against Adhadhu, nearly a month after the release of the "Aisha" documentary, escalated following a press conference at the President's Office today. During the briefing, questions were raised regarding the allegations made against President Mohamed Muizzu in the documentary. In his response, Muizzu dismissed the claims in the documentary as absolute falsehoods and called for legal action to be taken regarding the matter.

#Maldives: Authorities must end the climate of intimidation and impunity so Maldivian journalists can work without fear of violence or legal action. In late January, authorities used the regressive Media and Broadcasting Commission Act for the first time, ordering online news outlet Adhadhu to remove a satirical cartoon about corruption on spurious religious grounds. The act of censorship follows worrying reports of harassment of journalists, including the president of the Maldives Journalist Association, Ahmed Naif, who received graphic death threats on social media after discussing government policies on a podcast. en.sun.mv/102817 cpj.org/2025/08/cpj-ur… #PressFreedom #JournalismIsNotACrime @PoliceMv @mjamaldives

just wondering.. if the Supreme Court has the power to disqualify a candidate from running based on unpaid debts, why do these sitting MP millionaires with dozens of loans and debt manage to get a pass?

“Every day is poisoned by the awareness that while we go about our lives hundreds of ordinary people like ourselves are being murdered, or being forced to witness the murder of their children.”

‘The liquidation of Gaza, though outlined and broadcast by its perpetrators, is daily obfuscated, if not denied, by the instruments of the West’s military and cultural hegemony.’ Pankaj Mishra’s LRB Winter Lecture is now online to read and watch: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

Western media simply CAN'T report honestly on Gaza.@TheEconomist's describing ISR's shooting starving civilians as "death has descended on Gaza" & "anarchic circumstances surrounding so many deaths" is BEYOND THE PALE. If reality is too daunting,silence is better than distortion.
