Following President Abdulla Yameen's imposition of a state of emergency, there was a chorus of international concern. India, Sri Lanka, the US, UK and Germany had called the Maldivian government to immediately implement the February 1 Supreme Court ruling to release exiled former President Mohamed Nasheed and nine other high-profile political prisoners.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein termed the Maldives' state of emergency an "all-out assault on democracy".
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also appealed to the government to lift the emergency.
