The Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) has dismissed Malé city councillor Zaidhul Ameen from the ruling party’s council, reportedly over a photo with convicted former defence minister Mohamed Nazim.
A photograph of Zaidhul Ameen with Nazim and his family in Singapore circulated on social media today. PPM’s deputy secretary general Abdul Aleem is also in the photo.
Nazim was convicted of weapons smuggling charges in March sentenced to 11 years in prison.
The photo was taken while Nazim was in Singapore for medical treatment. The retired colonel returned this week after more than a month in Singapore.
