The family of a man on death row, convicted of killing a parliamentarian, has called on the Human Rights Commission of the Maldives to inquire into reports of self-injury.
Ahmed Khaleel, father of Hussain Humam, 22 years, said he had received reports his son had deep wounds on his hands and had been brought to Malé.
“Although he is in Malé, I am saddened to say that he has not been taken to any hospital for treatment,” Khaleel said in a statement today.
“In the last three years and four months he has been detained, doctors have said that his mental health has deteriorated drastically and have advised psychiatric help. We have not been informed about any psychiatric consultations or been given any information about his treatment,” the statement read.
