MCS to stamp down on intimidation of officers

The Maldives Correctional Service (MCS) has made a resolute commitment to combatting the alarming trend of individuals posting personal information, including photos, in an attempt to intimidate and harass correctional officers. In an official press release, the MCS brought attention to the growing occurrence of defamatory statements, false accusations, and threats being circulated on social media platforms.

Recognizing the detrimental impact these posts have on public trust, the correctional service expressed deep concern over the actions that undermine the dedicated efforts of its officers and employees. MCS firmly condemned such behavior and emphasized its dedication to maintaining a safe and supportive work environment for its personnel.

To ensure accountability and deter future occurrences, the MCS made it clear that legal action will be pursued against individuals who persistently engage in these acts. MCS aims to protect the professional integrity of its officers and foster a sense of security within the correctional service.
