Every night the Maldivian military with mask covered faces forcefully enter homes and terrorize innocent people sleeping peacefully while the abduction of people continues. And like the silence of the lambs, the victims cry all night, only to find out at dawn a loved one has been abducted.
Night after night citizens protest, begging the military to act within their constitutional powers, but to no avail the police and the military brutally crush their protests with tear gas, pepper spray, and stun guns. Nightly scores get arrested and many get treated in hospitals, some for major baton injuries.
Major General of the Maldivian Armed Forces Moosa Jaleel had been a very
popular figure with the public. But due to his association with this Dictator
Mohamed Nasheed, Moosa Jaleel is being seen as aiding this Dictator to stay in
power, even when 80% of the Citizens are against the Nasheed regime.
The Independent Institutions like the Supreme Court, High court, and the lower court has condemned the actions of President Nasheed as unconstitutional and against the newly adopted constitution of Maldives. Abducting judges like Chief Justice Abdulla Mohamed at night by the anti-terrorist force of the military, just because he refused to execute summary detention of political opponents.
A Prominent Parliamentarian and a popular lawyer, Nasheed (Kutti) during the demonstration against the abduction of judges addressed to the armed forces personnel standing beside the demonstrators said, "even if you crush me with all your might, every drop of my blood will still say that the abduction of Justice Abdulla Gazee is illegal and unconstitutional".
The hunger for democracy and freedom is unrelenting. The citizens of Maldives are not going to surrender to another dictator. President Nasheed is mistaken. The families of the military and the police lives amongst the very public they beat and use pepper spray. Every tear the public shed would eventually translate into anger and determination.
Their wrath would ultimately translate into reciprocity against the fellow citizens who are abusing the power vested by the citizens.
There is no wall high enough
There is no ocean wide enough
There is no abyss deep enough
There is no army strong enough
To stop the sacrificial errand making his rounds
