Maldives: Fear for safety: Aminath Najeeb (f), human rights defender; editor of newspaper Minivan

If she is detained for two weeks or more, she will not be legally able to continue as the editor of a national newspaper: the government appears to be attempting to silence one of the few newspapers in the country that dares to criticise it.
