The judiciary continues to be the weakest link in Maldives in its march towards democracy. Except for the opposition MDP, no other political party appears to be concerned by the poor performance of the judiciary. What is more, the Judicial commission which is supposed to be the “Watch Dog” over functioning of the judiciary appears to be highly politicised.

It is very unfortunate that almost all the political parties except the MDP are using religion as a political tool to keep former president Nasheed from winning the presidential elections this September. Their main thrust in the election campaign is that all the parties are out to save Islam from Nasheed and his MDP!

As expected the situation in Male is getting messy and there appears to be no end to the high drama created when former President Nasheed sought refuge in the Indian High Commission to avoid an arrest warrant against him issued by the Hulhulu male Magistrate’s Court.
