Some key reformists transferred to house arrest
Male' - Sources within MDP have confirmed that Mohamed Ziyad (Ziattey), Majeed Sir and Siddeeq have been transferred to house arrested after more than two weeks in solitary confinement. They were arrested unlawfully by the despotic regime of Gayyoom in an attempt to stop the planned protest of '10th November' calling for faster constitutional reform. In other developments, popular youth reformist Umar (Jinsey) has been freed but concern is mounting over fate of some reformists who are still on hunger strike, especially Ameen Faisal and others from the Addu boat who were taken hostage by the regime.
