MJA congratulates 'Haveeru' on legal go ahead for resumption, lauds archives as preservation of history

Maldives Journalists' Association (MJA) has released a statement congratulating Haveeru, Maldives' most archive-rich newspaper, on the Supreme Court's ruling in its favour, effectively granting it the legal go ahead to resume operations.

Supreme Court ruled on March 3 to uphold Civil Court's 2014 verdict that Abdulla Farooq Hassan and Ibrahim Rasheed Moosa do not hold any shares in 'Haveeru' News and Loamaafaanu Print, and that no part of its profits need to be given to these two individuals, and revoked the earlier High Court ruling to the contrary in the case.
