Political violence in Maldives : FIDH calls on the international community to prevent the further deterioration of human rights ahead of the release of the report by the commission of national inquiry (CoNI)

Abstract

FIDH conducted a fact-finding mission in the Maldives from 30th July to 2nd August 2012. The team met with a wide range of stakeholders from the civil society including victims of political violence, ministries, independent institutions, United Nations, and members of the opposition. FIDH calls on the international community to immediately engage all relevant stakeholders to prevent further deterioration of the human rights situation as well as to closely monitor the situation, especially in the prospect of the release of CoNI's report, and to actively act to support a return to the reform agenda.
