COLOMBO, May 2:(AFP), US Secretary of State John Kerry said democracy was under
threat in the Maldives as he added his voice Saturday to criticism over the
jailing of the islands' first freely-elected president Mohamed Nasheed.
"We see even
now how regrettably there are troubling signs that democracy is under threat in
the Maldives where the former president Nasheed has been imprisoned without due
process," said Kerry on a visit to neighbouring Sri Lanka. "This is
an injustice that needs to be addressed soon."
