A small country in the Indian Ocean. A travel destination to the tourists worldwide. They fined this place as paradise. Even though the people of Maldives, believe the country is not a paradise for them. They are crying for democracy. They elected a president in the year 1978 and still he is the president. Last 28 years, his government has all the quality of a good dictatorship. Now a lot of people are opposing his government and they are trying to get democracy here. Gatherings are held on streets when the police chase them away violently. Those people get arrested under no law.

The photo shows you a lot of people in a gathering for democracy in Male’ (the capital of Maldives).
