"Maldivian Journalists Face Backlash for Exposing President's Alleged Misconduct Rights groups have come out in force to condemn the jailing of several journalists who were arrested for violating a gag order on allegations against President Mohamed Muizzu. The journalists, accused of breaching a court-issued order, were reportedly investigating claims of corruption and abuse of power against the President. This move has sparked widespread concern among press freedom advocates, who argue that the government is using the gag order as a means to silence critical reporting and muzzle the media. As the Maldivian government continues to face scrutiny for its handling of the situation, the international community is watching closely to see how the President's administration will respond to mounting pressure from human rights groups."
