After the brutal killings in Maldives jail by Gayyoom's security forces last September, BBC reported the incident to the world; what happened next?

These article are proof of how Gayyoom reacts to criticism. He went to the extreme of writing to the BBC alleging that BBC had unlawfully attempted to influence the outcome of the Presidential Election on 17th October 2003. Gayyoom was furious that BBC had broadcasted a report critical of his heavenly rule. They also reported in local TV and Radio and newspapers that BBC had blurred the picture by interviewing someone who was critical of the regime. Eevan Naseem was beaten to death by 12 police guards on 19th September 2003. On 20th September 19 unarmed Maldivians were shot, 3 of whom died.
