Opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) MP Ilyas Labeeb has been summoned by police regarding allegations of “disrupting public order” on August 31.
Labeeb told local media today that police claimed he had unlawfully passed police barricades set up in Orchid Magu during protests.
“In the chit police sent to me it did not state the reason for my summoning. So at the police station, I did not answer to any questions and exercised my right to remain silent,” he said.
He also dismissed the allegations of police stating that he had never done anything in contrast to “the constitution or any law”.
