Jailed ex-president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom should be transferred to house arrest as he now needs round-the-clock care for his health, his lawyer said Thursday.
Maumoon has been asked not to move his head at all by an ENT doctor, Faisal Mohamed told Mihaaru.
“The doctor said there’s a high probability of Maumoon falling at any moment. That’s why he’s having difficulties doing the most basic things on his own,” said Faisal.
Faisal has been asking authorities for a transfer to house arrest, saying it was unsafe to keep Maumoon away from his family.
