Jumhoree Party (JP) MP Abdulla Jabir has spoken of the severe brutality he and others faced whilst being arrested on Thursday’s island raid, likening the actions of the police to that of “terrorists”.
A ‘special’ operation carried out on Thursday night concluded with the arrest of ten people on the island of Hodaidhoo in Haa Dhaal Atoll, a police statement read.
Police said they found large amounts of “suspected” drugs and alcohol upon searching the island with a court warrant.
Jabir, who has since been released from custody, told how the arrested group suffered at the hands of the police during the night-time raid.
