Former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed was arrested on Tuesday. Nasheed will be presented before the court on Wednesday.
Former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed sought refuge in the Indian High Commission in Male, where he went immediately after issuance of an arrest warrant against him by a Maldivian court.
Nasheed had also tweeted, “Mindful of my own security and stability in the Indian Ocean, I have taken refuge at the Indian High Commission in Maldives.”
The arrest warrant was issued against Nasheed by a Maldivian court after he did not turn up for his previously scheduled trial hearing at Hulhumale’ Magistrate Court on February 10 in the case regarding detention of Chief Judge of the Criminal Court Judge Abdulla Mohamed in January 2012.
He left the Indian High Commission in Male on February 23, 11 days after he sought refuge following an arrest warrant against him in a court case.
