Freedom for Pigeons
We, members of Maldives Coffee and Pigeon Party are extremely alarmed and disgusted by Presidents Yameens new regulation to not allow public to feed the pigeons at Jumhooree Maidhaan. We urgently call President Yameen to immediately scrap this barbaric regulation and give the pigeons their rightful dignity.
MCPW will always stand against animal cruelty, especially pigeons whose plight is the reason for the formation of this party. This form of cruelty as depriving pigeons of their main food source with sole intention of reducing their nests and offspring amount to genocide.
We call the public to protest and boycott this barbaric law by feeding the pigeons in Jumhooree Maidhaan. As per recent court rulings, a regulation not published on gazette is void and there is no legal basis.

This is MCPW first posting since November 2007, almost 7 years ago. But never have MCPW have gone through darker days than the last 9 months. On 8 August 2014, around 01:30 while coming home, our party founder Ahmed Rilwan, aka @moyameeha was abducted at the corner of the apartment where he was living. Since then, family and friends have gone through a tough time to find him launching #findmoyameeha campaign which involved social activism, suvaal march and keeping presure on authorities to find him. Nothing have panned out and he is still missing and authorities unable to explain what has happened.
MCPW's long silence regarding this is that Moyameehaa is the founder of this blog and we relied heavily on him to update the blog. If he was around he would have already posted on this blog about the plight of the pigeons. Therefore we from all at MCPW like to dedicate this post to Ahmed Rilwan #findmoyameehaa. We may never post again but this is for him, his brave family and countless friends he thought he never head.
Thanks
