Ex-Maldives leader not to seek asylum in Sri Lanka
(Srilankamirror) - Mohammed Nasheed, the former Maldivian president, has said he would not seek asylum in Sri Lanka despite his family being in the island.
Instead, he said he would continue to fight for democracy in his country.
Mr. Nasheed has told the Sunday Leader in an interview that the international community must act before it was too late.
"I will continue my fight in the Maldives. I will not give up. I cannot leave. My family is in Sri Lanka but I will not leave now," he said.
