Petition launched calling on the Maldives Dictator to free Ismailbe'

Male' - 15:00 - Ismailbe' was today taken to the 'new' torture chambers of police in Atholhuvehi, where late Hussain Salah was murdered earlier this month. Police just went to Ismailbe's house without notice and took him away for interrogation, without a lawyer. He was asked how many children he has and that was all. Experts believe that the interrogation is more psychological in nature and it is likely that Ismailbe' will be handed over to FBI, who will most probably take him away to Guantanamo Bay. "It is quite possible that Ismailbe' is involved in terrorism activities worldwide and hence a threat to the world at large, not just the Maldives", said a senior policeman. "We have to be very careful with these terrorists", he added further. Ismailbe' was also interrogated yesterday by chief torturer Adam Zahir personally, which indicates that this case is quite serious in nature. According to our sources, Ismailbe' told police yesterday that he has nothing to say and that it is the police who murder and kill people and not him. Ismailbe' doesn't really know the meaning of terrorism, so he could not comment on the charges. Ismailbe' (Ismail Mohamed) is 80 years old and works as a messenger at the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) office in Male'. He was arrested yesterday whilst distributing prints of the statement made by Hussain Salah's family, who was murdered by Maldives Police on 15th April.

Male' - Ismailbe' is now under house arrest and will be taken to interrogation tomorrow, possibly on terrorism charges. He has been asked to arrange a lawyer. Ismailbe' is 80 years old and is trying to see if Golhaabo himself could be his lawyer, failing that he wants Moakulhi Hameed to be his lawyer, according to Ismailbe's associates. Like most people, Ismailbe' thinks that Golhaabo' and his brother are lawyers, but they are not. A proper lawyer has now been arranged for him by his friends and family.
Male' - Ismailbe' (Ismail Mohamed, M. Fizaa), a senior citizen and an active member of the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has been arrested today for distributing prints of the statement made by the family of Hussain Salah, who was murdered by the Maldives Police on 15th April. An associate of Ismailbe' said that he is an old man and has done nothing wrong but exercise his freedom. "That statement is all over the internet and printed in local newspapers too, we don't see anything wrong with it being distributed by Ismailbe' or anyone else for that matter," said an MDP activist. Ismailbe' is a volunteer staff who helps out in MDP head office in Male'.
