<p>As the Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon Friend
the Member for East Devon (Mr Swire), said in his press statement on 4 November, the
British Government is deeply concerned by recent developments in the Maldives. We
believe the State of Emergency declared on 4 November impinged on the basic human
rights of the Maldivian people and further undermined confidence in the country’s
democracy.</p><p>On 10 November the Maldivian government lifted the State of Emergency.
As Mr Swire said in his tweet on 10 November, we welcome the lifting of the State
of Emergency and look forward to further positive progress in the Maldives.</p>
