Maldives Broadcasting Commission (Broadcom), on Thursday, concluded that local television channel Raajje TV was unjustly fined MVR 2 million in 2018 for broadcasting content that defamed former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom.
During the previous administration, BroadCom fined Raajje TV with a total of MVR 3.7 million on five occasions, under the contentious Freedom of Speech and Defamation Act that was passed in 2016.
