Wishing all Maldivians a Happy 51st Independence Day. The EU stands with those struggling to preserve fundamental freedoms.
On Maldives Independence Day: sharing Maldivians’ hopes that rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution will advance in coming year.
Real Celebration of Independence is; when the common people feel it and celebrate willingly on their own.

The word ‘independence’ cannot apply to the Maldives in any sense. We are dependent internationally and caged domestically.
Boycott Independence Day!
YAG begins IndepDay cebrations: 6 protesters jailed fr 5 yrs,an MP jailed fr 6 months,RTV given final warning,an MP summoned& ph confiscated
The crimes are becoming vaguer,the punishments harsher, signaling increasing insecurity of a despot.Signals endgame!

Maldives marks 51st anniversary of Independence with most political leaders as refugees in former imperial metropole or in jail in Maldives!
Maldives maybe free but Maldivians are prisoners of its own Government n Judiciary #NoIndependaceDay for us

Media should follow @maumoonagayoom & boycott July 26. No point in marking Independence Day when there’s no press freedom. We must resist!
Yet another black day in Maldives. The only flag that should be waved rightfully tomorrow is a black flag. We have not achieved independence.

Maldives turned into a dictatorship on its 51st independence day!
