The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has accused President Mohamed Muizzu’s administration of safeguarding criminals, following an attack on Prosecutor General Hussain Shameem in Male City. Shameem, currently receiving treatment at ADK Hospital, was assaulted on the streets. The MDP condemns the attack, citing alleged connections between top officials and criminal gangs. The opposition party criticizes Muizzu's administration for failing to protect officials fulfilling constitutional duties. Noting an increase in violent assaults since Muizzu took office, the MDP calls for an investigation, urging the government to sever alleged ties with criminal groups. Former President Solih labels the attack as politically motivated.
