Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Coalition for Women in Journalism (CFWIJ) on Thursday called on the Maldivian government to take action against a local editor accused of sexual harassment.
The two international non-profit and non-governmental organisations made the calls in a statement declaring solidarity with the 73 journalists from Maldives that submitted a petition to authorities on August 11, calling for investigations into numerous complaints against the current Chief Editor of local media outlet 'Avas Online', Adam ‘Mundoo’ Haleem.
