the security forces that gathered in protest. there were some clashes, nothing serious. if you look at the way the police have dealt with the general public it's force on the people. people have been injured. and i do not - i note that two police officers who got into the crowd after they have charged - they charged a pick up at high speed into the crowd. two of them got - you know, some level of injury. this is usual. there's no reason to claim that this was a violent protest. >> okay. let's look at the root cause of the protest. that's the president, the demographic gapes in 2008 have

been -- gains in the 2008 have been lost. >> exactly. two days ago the european parliament passed a resolution. it states that the violation in the maldives things deteriorated. international community, deep concerns. the local public are more concerned than anyone else. >> okay. can i ask you - what is your strategy to return the maldives back to the democratic values that it experienced a few years, peacefully. what is your plan? >> we yesterday through the protest and the last few months we asked the government to sit and talk to us. we are three political parties and we cannot be disregarded. we are part of the state.
