he Maldives Foreign Ministry has issued an urgent advisory for Maldivians living in or traveling to the United Kingdom, as over 100 protests are expected across the country. The Ministry, through the Maldives High Commission in London, has advised citizens to exercise extreme caution and avoid areas where demonstrations are planned.

The unrest, which began following misinformation about a suspect involved in recent violent incidents, has led to attacks on mosques and clashes with police. Authorities have identified the suspect as Axel Rudekubana, a British national, despite false claims linking the incident to the Muslim community.

British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer has condemned the violence and instructed police to take decisive action to quell the unrest. The Maldives Foreign Ministry is closely monitoring the situation and has urged all Maldivians to stay informed and follow local guidelines.

For assistance or more information, Maldivians in the UK should contact the Maldives High Commission. The Ministry emphasizes the importance of registering with the High Commission for updates and support.
