    This government is illegal. We want fair, early elections to save the democracy in our country. This was indeed a coup.

    Our first democratically elected president Mohamed Nasheed was ousted in a coup. The majority of citizens in this country want early elections. It is only with the help of the international community that we can get what we want. So please help us.

    We don't want our current government because we have to be scared all the time. The police are brutal and the justice is very unfair. We the young people have lost faith in everything.

    it's a shame for democracy and it's shame for so called democracies who accepted the illegal government. If this is not a coup there is no coup in history of the Universe.

    The current government came by force and it is illegal. We don't want our democracy to be failed gust like this as Police and Army to be taken by the power. We need a early election and this coup to be investigate.

    I am a young Maldivian who support democracy and freedom. I hope and pray you would be able to bring justice, cos I dont have any faith in the current system of justice- the police, national security, the Judiciary is all corrupted. I believe you would be able to make a fair judgment. At least we can be be convinced that the International agencies are on the same page as the youth of Maldives.
