"The information says the Supreme Court might issue a ruling to impeach or remove the president from power." Yameen has fired two police chiefs since Thursday, when the Supreme Court threw out terrorism convictions against former president Mohamed Nasheed and eight other opposition figures. The 12 had quit Yameen's ruling party last year, and allowing them to return to the legislature would deprive him of a majority. He told a party meeting on Saturday he "did not expect the Supreme Court ruling at all". On Saturday, senior members of Yameen's ruling party called on authorities to shut down independent TV channel Raajje TV saying it was spreading discord.
