MALE (AFP) - The Maldives sacked its human rights minister on Tuesday after she accused police of brutally assaulting her husband when he was arrested for allegedly drinking alcohol, an offence in the Islamic republic. Dhiyana Saeed, the minister for Gender and Human Rights, said police had beaten up Abdulla Jabir during a raid on a small island being developed as a tourist resort. “Police even hit Jabir on his private organs so hard that he is still bleeding,” Saeed was quoted as saying on the local Minivannews website. President Mohamed Waheed’s office said she was sacked “for making false allegations” against the police.
