Teleconferencing facilities to conduct criminal court proceedings are being set up at the police detention centre on the island of Dhoonidhoo.
The criminal court’s spokesperson told The Maldives Independent that a permanent teleconferencing facility will be established in Dhoonidhoo “just as it has been established in other courts across the country.”
“Our aim to establish a reliable teleconferencing facility in Dhoonidhoo so that remand hearings and collecting of statements by suspects can be carried out without the suspect being physically transported to a court in Malé,” he said.
Dhoonidhoo is 15 minutes away by speedboat from the capital.
