The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has announced its intention to conduct a nationwide protest on Friday following the decision to place former President Mohamed Nasheed under island arrest.
The Department of Judicial Administration yesterday told local media that the travel ban was “standard procedure” followed by all courts.
Nasheed has also been charged with two cases of defamation, for calling the Defence Minister and Police Commissioner traitors. He has been summoned to the Civil Court on September 30 in relation to the defamation charges.
The party has refrained from larger demonstrations since the release of the Commission of National Inquiry (CNI) at the end of last month.
