Maldives jails journalists over reporting on president's alleged affair

Maldives jails journalists over reporting on president's alleged affair

Just read about two journalists in the Maldives jailed for reporting on allegations about President Muizzu's personal life. They were sentenced under a gag order that bans discussing the case. It’s raising major concerns about press freedom and democracy in the country, with rights groups strongly condemning the move. The whole situation feels like a step back for transparency. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/13/maldives-jails-two-journalists-for-reporting-on-presidents-alleged-affair

The gag order says it all. Trying to bury the story by locking up the messengers. Terrible look for the country.
