Ex-pres' residence, PPM Office vandalized

Former President and opposition leader Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayyoom's residence and opposing Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM)'s office have been vandalized.

The police Thursday said the vandalism was brought to their attention and that the case was being investigated. No further details were provided.

The vandalism comes while the opposition has accused the police of not investigating the threats made against President Yameen on social media.

President Yameen officially started using Twitter this month and has been criticizing the government's policies on Twitter every day. While the government has tried to stop the opposition's movement calling for the withdrawal of Indian troops from the Maldives, Yameen continues to assert that the movement cannot be stopped.
