Maldivian Press Freedoms In Context

With Ahmed Abbass serving a six month prison sentence for statement made two years ago in a magazine article, readers might be interested in a snapshot of struggles for press freedom in the Maldives. I like how some of the abuse comes down to the relatively small size of the nation, as in everybody knows everybody, and sending message through unrelated acts, as in everybody knows everybody's friends and family. Jailing on the magazine statement when what was at issue were the cartoons is what might have happened to Abbass.
