...editorial fundamentally misunderstands the Ad Board’s setup and purpose. You complain that students cannot hire an attorney for an Ad Board hearing. That is because the Ad Board is not a legal institution, like a court or the police, but an academic institution, to administrate the rules of the college. The Ad Board’s purpose is fundamentally education, not punishment.

"We had been telling the population that they deserved better," says Ahmed Moosa, a prominent opposition figure who said he fled to London after receiving death threats from elements within Gayoom's government. "Now we were able to expose the regime for the crimes it had committed." International pressure and defections from his own cadres slowly forced Gayoom to change tack and speak of democratic reform.
