Husnu Suood, the lead counsel for former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom in the legal battle for the control for the ruling party, was summoned Tuesday to the high court and questioned over his criticism of the case.
He was questioned by an official over a remark accusing the court of discrimination and a tweet that appeared to question the high court registrar’s impartiality.
“I consider this an act of intimidation,” Suood told the Maldives Independent.
The former attorney general was told the court would summon him again if they had additional questions. He was not given a warning.
