Gayyoom's DRP causing unrest in Addu

Hithadhoo - Confirmed reports say that Gayyoom's Party (DRP) is holding a small meeting in Hithadhoo with the full protection of his militia - the Star Force. Last night their attempt to hold a meeting in Addu also failed and similarly they were not welcome at Hulhumeedhoo today.
In the turn of events tonight, the militia handcuffed some reformist who also were attending the meeting in Muhibbuhdheen School. When this happened, the crowd got outraged and demanded their release. Gayyoom's militia today warned key reformist and threatened them that if they go to DRP meetings they will come into trouble.

Two key reformists from Addu are in fact in detention today in relation to last nights incidents and large crowd are now gathering near the school and calling for there release.
Experts say that Gayyoom is attempting to disrupt the MDP congress scheduled for this month by arresting key people in Addu. We will bring more updates as we get them.
