The government of Maldives has been issuing contradictory regulations in a scramble to keep the resorts operating. Management of the JA Manafaru resort has capitalized on the situation to victimize union officer Ibrahim Ziyaadh, a branch leader of the tourism workers' union TEAM which is fighting to defend the rights, health and safety of tourism workers. On March 20, TEAM branch leader Ibrahim Ziyaadh returned from leave on his home island, where he had not learned of the March 18 ruling, to the JA Manafaru resort where he was employed. Security officers allowed him to enter the resort, and doctors placed him in quarantine. On March 21, management called the police, and Ziyaadh was arrested. On March 23 his employment was terminated while he was in police custody.
