OSA invites you to take part in our Human Rights Day Photo and Poster Competition.Theme: Your cultural life of the community in the Maldives
The theme of the OSA competition is 'the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community' (Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948). The idea is for you to think about your culture in the Maldives and how you enjoy this within your community. You might take photo of a family member in traditional Maldivian dress, draw a picture of your friends skating or paint an image of the bustling community at the fish market...

Hey OSA, congratulations on this initiative! I am so glad that you are continuing to advance human rights even after quitting government. I don't think you should ever join the government. You could really make a strong contribution to human rights promotion and civil society development by staying outside government. By the way, Shaheed, I like the quotation from Voltaire that you read in your defence in parliament before you quit.

"Power to the People" this name i would say gives a Marxism feel, meaning like "give people all the rights the state thinks the people deserve" whats your theory on it? how about a name like "OPIATE OF THE INTELLECTUALS" ...
I suggest the theme be urgently changed in light of today's passing of the article denying Maldivian citizenship to anyone who is non-Muslim. There is no way the Maldives can be a liberal democracy with this article in place. This whole episode of the Majlis is an act of the tyranny of the majority, which is what liberal democracy is essentially to contain. It is an intolerant and cruel act, and an affront to both Islam and liberalism. It is also totally ill-conceived in light of the demographic and intellectual changes taking place in the society. How are we to socially cooperate with, and be cooperated by, those with various non-Islamic thoughts in the Maldives with fair terms? Will OSA do anything about this?
Of all the articles of the human rights declaration, is this what the OSA deems most relevant to the Maldives?
How can any people participate in their culture when they do not have the opportunity and empowerment to participate in the politics of their own country?
I am deeply disappointed!
