Maldives: Cyberdissident Ahmad Didi Released, Photographer Arrested
Via Reporters sans Frontières.
Reporters Without Borders welcomed the release of Ahmad Didi, under house arrest since February 2005, who received a presidential pardon on 22 February along with another political dissident, Naushad Waheed.
The following day, Ali Fahud, photographer on the weekly Adduvas, was arrested while covering an opposition demonstration.
The press freedom organisation urged the Maldives government to extend the same leniency shown to Ahmad Didi to Ali Fahud and to Jennifer Latheef, who has been under house arrest since 21 December 2005, and is in a poor state of health.
