HRCM should comment on homosexuality: Islamic Ministry

State Minister of Islamic Affairs Mohamed Shaheed Ali Saeed has said that the ministry was very worried about the fact that the Human Rights Commission of Maldives (HRCM) was not concerned about the issue of homosexuality as they were concerned about the issue of child concubines in Maldives.


Speaking at a press conference yesterday State Minister Shaheem said that the issue of child concubine was only based on hearsay. He said that the Ministry has been unsuccessful in their attempts to find the truth of this matter and that this makes one doubt the authenticity of the this talk of child concubine.


Shaheem further said that they had a lot of work by contacting Indhira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH), to find the truth about child concubine case and that so far they have no evidence to prove that this actually happened.


State Minister Shaheem said that while HRCM had been very outspoken in the media about their concern for this case, HRCM has not said anything against the recent news in the media about permitting homosexuality in Maldives. Shaheem said that this questions HRCM’s role in such issues.
