Some of the people in the dhoni are reportedly being held in the island prison of Dhoonidhoo although whether all of them are there is not known. Some have been denied medication; a few were able to have access to their lawyers. They have still not been told why they are being held.
The Head (trustee) of British charity Maldives Aid, Mr. Tim Hardingham, is said to have been taken into police custody last night and there has been no news of him since. Unconfirmed reports say that he is being held at the Male International Airport. His family in the UK has not been told of any details of why he is being held or where.
This follows the deportment of two journalists, one an American working for Minivan News, and the other a British freelancer a few days ago.
