Hearings in the trial of six suspects accused of murdering liberal blogger Yameen Rasheed continue to be closed at the request of the Prosecutor General’s office.
PG office spokesman Ahmed Thaufeeg, who previously assured that public hearings will be held in the future, told the Maldives Independent that a hearing on Sunday afternoon was closed because it dealt with preliminary matters.
“The court is still holding pre-trial hearings, mostly to do with appointing lawyers and all,” he said.
The 29-year-old IT professional, satirist and Internet activist was stabbed to death on April 23 in the stairway of his apartment building in Malé.
