A third hearing in the weapons smuggling appeal filed by former Defence Minister Mohamed Nazim was scheduled this morning after a five month hiatus. It was however called off at the last minute as Nazim’s lawyer Husnu Suood is out of town.
Nazim’s family now fears the appeal can only proceed when the High Court reconvenes in January, after a one month recess that begins on December 1.
Nazim’s brother Adam Azim told The Maldives Independent that the family is hoping to reschedule the hearing to Sunday.
“But Suood is away in London on an emergency so we are not sure if we can have the hearing before High Court breaks for recess. We may have to wait one more month or more to get justice for our brother,” he said.
