No One Will Be Detained for Political Reasons: President Muizzu

The administration will not detain anyone for political motives, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu stated today, reaffirming a commitment to equal justice and the rule of law.

Responding to a question at a President’s Office press conference concerning allegations against a former minister and perceptions that influential figures evade accountability, President Muizzu dismissed politically motivated arrests as acts of retaliation and political vendetta that have no place under his government.

Emphasizing that every case must be handled strictly according to the law, the President assured that legal proceedings will run their course regardless of the suspect’s status or political standing. He pledged that law enforcement bodies and the judiciary will carry out investigations without executive interference.

"Upholding the rule of law, protecting the Constitution and safeguarding human rights are principles that must be fully guaranteed in our nation," President Muizzu said, adding that judicial processes must never be weaponized for political gain.
