70. 工作组很难接受马尔代夫政府提出的论证思路，因为仅仅是越过警方路障并不一定意味着 Mahloof 先生的行为不再是和平的。工作组注意到，马尔代夫首都的地理面积不大。在首都强行划出的大片禁区，即所谓的绿色区域，实际上阻碍公众接近包括现总统官邸在内的大多数政府办公室所在区域。
70. The Working Group struggles to accept the line of argumentation proposed by the Government, since merely crossing police barriers does not necessarily mean that the actions of Mr. Mahloof were no longer peaceful. The Working Group notes that the capital of Maldives is not geographically large. The extensive exclusion zone enforced in the capital, the so-called green zone, effectively precludes the general public from approaching the area where most government offices, including the residence of the current President, are located.
