 MDP
Demonstration of 24th January 2006 - thousands
demonstrated despite fierce opposition by Golhaabo and
threats by his force
Despite hard evidence, photographic and video evidence,
as well as acknowledgement from organisations such as
the United Nations and foreign governments, of the
success of the demonstration organised by the Maldivian
Democratic Party last Tuesday, Gayyoom's state
controlled media is spreading propaganda that there were
only few hundred protestors there and keep insisting
that it was an illegal gathering. According to most
accurate estimates, more than 8,000 people took part in
the demonstration in Male' and more than 3000
demonstrated in Addu Atoll at the same time. According
to MDP officials, across the country thousands more
protested in their own way to show solidarity for this
exercise to uphold our constitution. Watch the video
