Political evolution?

To some people, today would mark the end of democracy, to others, it would perhaps mark the beginning of the same.

To me, today marks an evolution - of how opposition leaders are taken into police custody. The iconic image of Mohamed Nasheed being dragged into Police HQ would still remain fresh in a lot of minds.

Few hours ago, we saw a totally different picture. Is this the beauty of democracy?

My thoughts are best reflected in this blog post on Maldives Dissent site:

Every time I see Waheed, a chill goes down my spine, wondering what Gayoom did to him to make Waheed become autistic-like. *shivers*

If maumoon cannot be taken to court or police, why should we ordinary citizens go?
