The police have released 17 people taken into custody yesterday for “disrupting public order” in the wake of Vice President Ahmed Adeeb’s arrest.
A police spokesperson said the 17 individuals, including two minors, were arrested in different areas of Malé.
Adeeb was arrested on suspicion of links to an alleged bomb plot to assassinate President Abdulla Yameen.
His supporters planned to greet him at the official jetty near the Republic Square, but the police had cordoned off the restricted “green zone” area. The police and military also conducted a special operation to maintain peace and order in the capital.
