The Human Rights Commission of the Maldives (HRCM) has summoned former Defence Minister Tholhath Ibrahim for questioning over the arrest of Chief Judge of the Criminal Court Abdulla Mohamed.
Speaking to the media yesterday, Tholath said he told the commission that the information about the arrest of the judge could not be revealed to HRCM as the matter concerned national security.
Tholhath told Minivan News that he had informed the commission that he would only answer questions related to human rights violations.
Tholhath was accompanied to the commission by lawyer Nooruban Fahmy, the sister of MDP Deputy Leader and MP Alhan Fahmy.
