Former President Mohamed Nasheed, who has been sentenced to thirteen years in prison, will not seize his reform efforts until all the hopes of the Maldivian people are realized, the Maldivian Democratic Party’s (MDP) Mohamed Shifaz said.
At the opposition coalition’s rally in Maduvari island of Raa Atoll, the former parliamentarian said that the opposition’s cause is fundamentally linked to the needs of the people, and too will not stop until all their needs have been met.
“Nasheed told me that he will not stop working for the rights of the people until all our dreams have been realized” Shifaz, who had spent a great deal of time with Nasheed abroad, said in speech.
Speaking to supporters gathered at the rally, Shifaz said that the opposition parties will remain together until incumbent President Abdulla Yameen is out of office.
He went on to say that what every Maldivian truly wants is their constitutional rights to be guaranteed without the threat of powerful state powers intervening.
