Maldives cabinet holding an underwater cabinet meeting to highlight climate change's risk to the country.
Maldives is the only country I know where the leader is a former Amnesty International Prisoner of Conscience. I was planning on using that fact to write how Maldives was a model of how a country could transition from one that was strewn with human rights abuses to one that upholds human rights and the rule of law. Well…the situation in the country is not as rosy as I was hoping. In fact, its political leaders will need to use a lot of deftness to avoid bloodshed.
