The Maldives Police Service has told the organisers of a gathering planned in Malé tonight to hold it within the bounds of the law, and not to assemble anywhere other than the areas where gatherings are permitted without prior notice.
Police made the announcement in a press statement issued today. They noted that such gatherings cause difficulties for regular traffic on the roads and for pedestrians.
According to police, no party has so far shared any information with them regarding the safety and security of those taking part in the gathering, or any disruption to traffic it may cause.
The statement also said that police will immediately stop any acts carried out during the gathering that are in breach of laws and regulations, and will take action against them.
The gathering is being held in opposition to handing over the Ras Malé project to Eagle Hills. Although the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has called for a public referendum on the project, President Dr. Muizzu has said that no such vote will be held.
