Cameraman ‘forced’ to erase footage of PG meeting judge
06 May 2015, 5:57 PM
A cameraman of the opposition aligned Raajje TV was forced to erase footage of a meeting between prosecutor general Muhthaz Muhsin and criminal court judge Abdul Bari Yousuf at a café, the broadcasting commission has found.
The PG allegedly met Bari at the Café Layaali in Malé on March 8 while the latter was presiding over former president Mohamed Nasheed’s terrorism trial.
The pair have denied the meeting took place, and Muhsin has previously said he would resign immediately if the allegations are proven to be true.
Following an inquiry, the commission determined on Monday that the Raajje TV journalists “faced reasons forcing them to delete the footage.”
