Thousands of people gathered to voice
their concern and disapproval against the visiting eye surgeons
representing Eye from Zion.
The people who spoke at the mass rally
held this afternoon raised their concern over President Mohamed
Nasheed’s decision to have closer ties with Israel.
Some opposition political parties, civil
society organisations and a certain party which is in the ruling
coalition took part in today’s peaceful protest rally held at South
Eastern end of Malé.
The protesters carried banners and
placards condemning Israel for its atrocities against the Palestinians.
One banner in the rally read “Maldivians against Jews and Zionists” and
many who spoke in the gathering demanded that government immediately
suspend or sever all diplomatic relations with Israel.
Similar protest rallies or marches have been held in Addu Atoll and Fuamulaku this afternoon.
