Islamic Foundation of the Maldives has condemned Minivan News for publishing a letter- to – the – editor that supported gay rights in Maldives. The said letter was written by an anonymous person on the 26 September 2009.
The foundation, in a press release issued yesterday, stated that homosexuality was against human nature and that it was forbidden in Islamic Shariah as well as a criminal offence under the Maldivian constitution. This foundation also called upon Maldives Police Service to investigate and find out the people involved in encouraging homosexuality.
Responding to the press release issued by Islamic Foundation, Minivan News made a statement in the website saying that all letters to the editor were submitted by readers and were published by the website as long as they were not defamatory. The statement stressed that the views and content of the letters do not represent the views of Minivan News.
