The Maldives Police Service will not allow individuals to abuse their right to travel in order to hold political protests, said state minister Shifaaq Mufeed.

Mufeed said that he is aware that the opposition wishes to have their supporters in the out lying islands gather in the capital city.

Therefore, he said that the police cannot restrict the constitutional freedom to travel but will not allow these ‘migrated’ supporters to gather anywhere in the capital city.

Mufeed said that obstructing peace and stability is unacceptable, especially under the guise of another such freedom.
