The immigration department has revoked the passports of exiled main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party Chairperson Ali Waheed and five associates of jailed former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb.
Maldivians who are ordered to return to the country in connection with an ongoing investigation do not have the right to stay or reside overseas using a Maldivian passport, the department said in a press statement this afternoon.
The non-cooperation of such individuals pose difficulties to the judiciary and investigative authorities, it said, adding that travel documents will be arranged if they wish to come back.
“We have shared this information with other countries. Hence, if they travel using this passport, they will face problems at the point of entry and immigration will not be responsible for any inconvenience or loss they may have to face,” said Hassan Khaleel, the department’s media official.
