Raajje TV Journalist Ibrahim ‘Asward’ Waheed has condemned delays in prosecuting two men suspected of critically injuring him in a near-fatal attack in February 2013.
The Prosecutor General’s Office in May 2013 pressed charges against Ahmed Vishan, 22 years, and Hassan Raihan, 19 years, for assault under Article 128 of the Penal Code.
If found guilty, the two face a jail term or banishment between six months and five years, or a fine between MVR100 and MVR5000.
“Each day of delay is one more day without justice,” Asward told Minivan News today.
