Parliament accepts police bill

Parliament on Wednesday accepted legislation proposed by Independent MP for Kulhudhufushi South, Mohamed Nasheed, to revamp the existing Police Act.

MPs voted 24-19 with one abstention to accept the bill and sent it to the National Security Committee for further review.

Presenting the bill to parliament on October 31, Nasheed said the new law was intended to “bring fundamental, revolutionary change” to the police institution.
