Jumhooree Party leader Gasim Ibrahim’s lawyers have accused police officers of lying under oath during a remand hearing last week.
Police officers told the judge at Wednesday’s remand hearing that a case against the opposition lawmaker has not been sent to the Prosecutor General’s office, Gasim’s legal team said in a statement Monday night
But the PG office later informed the lawyers in writing that a case forwarded by the police a day before the hearing was sent back due to lack of evidence.
The police spokesman, Superintendent Ahmed Shifan, declined to comment.
