The Maldives Media Council (MMC) has said it intends to continue its investigations into the police’s refusal to cooperate with Raajje TV despite the channels refusal to work with the MMC, reports local media.
The MMC statement said that it was constitutionally obliged to look into the case and to ensure a stable and free media environment in the country.
Haveeru reported that Raajje TV had sent the MMC a letter accusing it of incompetence, having – in its view – failed to resolve the issue previously.
The station said that it would not comment on the case further until the Civil Court had finished deliberating on the issue.
Raajje TV has filed cases against both the police and the President’s Office alleging that the station had been boycotted as well as not receiving appropriate protections from the authorities.
