Parliament’s security services committee on Monday held a closed-door meeting to discuss possible police negligence in the investigation of Maldives Independent journalist Ahmed Rilwan’s abduction.
The meeting began at 2pm on Monday but reporters were asked to leave the room five minutes into the meeting.
Following a vote among the members present, the committee’s chair, Mohamed Aslam, asked reporters to leave the committee room while a “confidential letter” sent to the committee by the prosecutor general’s office was discussed.
Aslam told reporters they would be allowed back into the room once the letter had been discussed, but the hearing continued until its end behind closed doors.
