The criminal court heard today anonymised witness testimony that claimed Sheikh Imran Abdulla’s absence from a historic anti-government rally on May Day had led to violent clashes between protesters and police officers.
Imran, the president of the Adhaalath Party, is standing trial on a charge of terrorism.
The anonymous Maldivian man is the first witness to testify against Imran. He was summoned by the state to support its argument that Imran’s speech at the 20,000-strong demonstration had resulted in clashes.
It is not clear why the court was accepting anonymous testimony.
