Former MP Easa released from police custody
13 May 2015, 7:30 PM
Former Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) MP Ahmed Easa has been released from detention today amid allegations of mistreatment under police custody.
A police media official told Minivan News today that Easa’s family had requested permission to take the former MP overseas for a spinal cord operation. He was brought to ADK hospital for a doctor’s consultation and hospitalized last night.
The police authorised the medical leave after the family submitted a written recommendation from Easa’s doctor, the official said.
Easa was released from custody as police have determined that his prolonged detention “was no longer necessary for the investigation,” he added.
