The civil court has rejected a request by jailed ex-Defence Minister Mohamed Nazim for medical treatment abroad and a transfer to house arrest.
Nazim’s lawyer, Husnu Suood, said the court claimed it had no jurisdiction on the issue.
The retired colonel’s family has repeatedly raised concerns over his health, claiming he may lose his eye sight if the government fails to allow him the proper medical care.
Nazim has been brought to Malé on several occasions for consultations with doctors. He was last brought to the Indira Gandi Memorial Hospital on Wednesday and Friday last week.
