Former vice president Ahmed Adeeb was admitted at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital on Saturday night after he was brought to Malé from the Maafushi prison for emergency medical care.
Adeeb, who is serving 33 year for corruption and terrorism, was taken back to prison last week after more than a month under house arrest, a move condemned by his Maldives Third-Way Democrat party as contrary to doctor’s recommendation to keep him home for two months to recover from a surgery to remove kidney stones.
It is unclear why Adeeb required emergency treatment after he was returned to the high-security jail.
The Maldives Correctional Service said Adeeb’s wife will be able to stay in his hospital room for 24 hours. Family members will be allowed access during visiting hours.
