Police has been chasing the crowd of protesters beating anyone who catches on their way, running after the public screaming and using modern vehicles, tear gas and pepper spray.
Several Maldivians were badly beaten up and arrested by Maldives Police tonight after they staged a demonstration in the capital to protest over the risen prices of general goods. Reports say that police attacked the protestors soon after they began their protest march from Chaandhany Maidhaan area around 11.30 this evening. Police was able to disperse the crowd near MMA but soon they converged near Customs from where police arrested even more people, after beating them up quite badly, according to eyewitness. People also confirmed that many youngsters and women were also among those arrested. "People were thrown into a lorry, while many were screaming with pain",
Group of Young men belongs to the ruling party MDP has targeted to burn places. This is to worsten the scenario, and to make Police beat the protesters. This has been going on badly on every protest which the oposition initiates. The truth is that MDP cannot digest the demonstartions against them.
Reports confirms that Police force has now reached the new harbour area and several others were arrested and some have been taken to hospital as they have been badly injured.
The Nation is going through a very rough and tough time.
