The civil court will deliberate today a complaint lodged by jailed former President Mohamed Nasheed’s siblings over restrictions on prison visits.
Nasheed, who has asked to participate in the hearings, is to be brought to Malé today at noon for a dispute resolution hearing.
Ahmed Nazim Sattar, the opposition leader’s brother, is suing the Maldives Correctional Services (MCS) over what he claims is a sudden decision to limit Nasheed’s weekly family visits to his parents, wife and children.
The civil court’s dispute resolution department is handling the complaint. A trial will be held if the parties are unable to come to a resolution today.
