Protest scheduled to take place in Hulhumale' against Ras Male' project, ahead of a major demonstration planned for December 4

The National Movement has announced that a major protest against the Ras Male' project agreement is scheduled for December 4. Additionally, the group revealed plans to hold a rally titled "Red Line" this Friday night in Hulhumale' Phase II.

Speaking at a press conference held on Sunday by the "Dhiveheenge Bin Dhiveheenah" national movement, former Home Minister Imran Abdulla, a leading figure in the campaign, noted that a significant number of citizens participated in the rally held last Friday night.

Imran stated that the high turnout and strong public support for the rally—despite the adverse weather, heavy rain, power outages, and numerous other challenges—demonstrate the extent of the Maldivian people's opposition to the allocation of land from Ras Male'. He further described the event as a significant success.

We have decided to hold another major mass rally on December 4th, God willing, with participants traveling from islands across the Maldives to gather in Male'. Therefore, we will be organizing a significant demonstration on that date. Furthermore, our national movement has scheduled a rally titled 'Red Line' for this coming Friday night in Hulhumale' Phase 2, God willing. We extend a sincere invitation to all residents of Hulhumale', as well as those in Male' who are able to attend, to join us for this event.

Imran Abdulla

During the press conference, Imran voiced his opposition to the current administration's actions regarding the allocation of land in Ras Male'. He further called upon members of Parliament to reject proposed legislative amendments that he claimed could facilitate the influence of other religions and undermine the nation's best interests.
