 　　Clashes between police and supporters of the Maldives' former president, Mohamed Nasheed, have spread beyond the capital of Male to several outlying islands, a day after an alleged1 coup2 forced his resignation.

　　Residents of the islands told media outlets3 that protesters seized several police stations on smaller islands late Wednesday following unconfirmed reports that police had beaten up the former president during an earlier protest in the capital.
　　At the time, he was leading supporters in a demonstration4 that erupted into violence when police responded with tear gas and baton5 charges.
　　Nasheed, the country's first democratically elected president, says he was forced from office in a coup and that the new President Mohammed Waheed Hassan, his former second-in-command, should immediately step down.
　　In an interview with the French news agency, Nasheed said he feared that his successor was involved in the coup attempt and had seized the chance to take over. He is urging the country's judiciary to investigate those responsible for his ouster.
　　President Hassan has denied the allegations, saying he was unprepared to take control of the country. He also announced he plans to appoint a unity6 cabinet in the next few days.
