More than 50 officers from the police and armed forces have been detained by the government, former president Mohamed Nasheed claimed Tuesday.
There have been several media reports about security force personnel in custody although police have only confirmed that two of its officers have been detained.
“Yameen loyalists have detained more than 50 MNDF and Police Officers. Some being detained in their barracks incommunicado; while senior SO police held in Dhoonidhoo. This is worrying. They must be freed,” he tweeted.
There was no immediate comment from police about Nasheed’s claim.
