Public statements

Pakistan's Daily Times reports that Ibrahim Fauzee spoke out, for the first time following his 2005 release, on 31 October 2008.
The Daily Times attributed Fauzee's comments to the electoral defeat of the Maldives leader Maumoon Abdul Gayoom
Maumoon Abdul Gayoom
Maumoon Abdul Gayoom was President of the Maldives from 1978 to 2008. After serving as Minister of Transport, he was nominated as President by the Majlis of the Maldives and succeeded Ibrahim Nasir on November 11, 1978. He eventually became the longest-ruling head of government in Asia...

. He attributed his detention to Gayoom.

Fauzee said that the Americans had allowed him to be interrogated by Maldives security officials.
He said Maldives officials had interrogated him about whether he planned to challenge Gayoom. He blamed Gayoom's regime for not trying to secure his release earlier. And he said Maldivian security officials had kept him under surviellance.

Public appearance

Breaking his silence on 11 November 2008, after the change of the government, Fauzee founded a religious organisation Islamic Foundation of the Maldives on 26 April 2009, in the capital city of the Maldives, Male’. He is the founder and the current president of the organisation.
The religious gatherings of Islamic Foundation attracted thousands of supporters, making one of the leading organisations operating in the country.
He had openly criticised the religious policies of the country. Especially, when after an English reporting website Minivan News published a letter calling for gay rights.
