Police Superintendent Ahmed Mohamed has promised swift justice for those believed to be responsible for the violent clashes that accompanied the opening of the People’s Majlis.
“The masterminds who planned and orchestrated the violence would be arrested soon and we would probe the matter very seriously,” Ahmed said at a press conference last night.
During the conference, it was revealed that 11 police officers had been injured after the day’s unrest, with one in a critical condition.
The dismantling of the Maldivian Democratic Party’s (MDP) camp was explained as a response to criminal incidents such as yesterday’s violence, which the superintendent alleged had originated from the area.
