Four non-governmental organizations today stressed that the National Enquiry Commission established by President Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan to investigate the circumstances surrounding the transfer of power must be independent and the present composition of the commission was questionable.
In a joint press conference in the name of the ‘Third Voice’ held by Maldives Democratic Network, Democracy House, Transparency Maldives and Maldives NGO Federation said that the events that led to the regime change must be probed independently and impartially.
The organizations further said that the investigating authority must be sanctioned by all the political parties of the country, but claimed that the current composition of the Enquiry Commission created doubts among the people.
Speaking during the conference, Project Coordinator of Transparency Maldives Aimon Rasheed said that the composition of the Enquiry Commission must be changed and added that the mandate and the extent of the commission must be specified.
Aimon revealed that the concerns of the NGOs regarding the work of the Enquiry Commission had been raised with President Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik who had assured to address them.
However, Aimon noted that no actions had been taken in that regard despite the assurances of President Waheed.
He also stressed that the All Party Roadmap Talks must include all the political parties of the Maldives and must move forward with greater purpose and intensity.
Aimon further advised that the discussions must seek international expertise.
The four NGOs called on all interlocutors to refrain from actions and incitements to violence and find resolutions through amicable means.
