Former President Mohamed Nasheed’s lawyers have shared with the police CCTV footage of a government official who delivered documents informing the opposition leader of his permanent transfer to house arrest.
The official can be seen entering Nasheed’s home, Maafannu Yaagoothuge, on July 19, said Hassan Latheef, a member of his legal team.
The government now denies commuting Nasheed’s 13-year jail term, and is investigating what they claim is a forged document.
The former president was taken back to jail on Sunday, a move that has prompted international criticism.
