Former vice president Ahmed Adeeb was taken back to prison Wednesday night after more than a month under house arrest.
Adeeb, who is serving 33 years in prison for corruption and terrorism, was transferred to house arrest on November 27 based on doctor’s recommendations after he underwent surgery to remove kidney stones.
Under house arrest, Adeeb formed a new party called the Maldives Third-Way Democrats, which has condemned his return to jail.
The house arrest period recommended by the doctor would be up on January 27, MP Yameen Rasheed told the press.
