MP Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, the minority leader of parliament, was questioned by the police Wednesday night about a disputed document commuting former President Mohamed Nasheed’s 13-year jail term to house arrest in June 2015.
Solih, the parliamentary group leader of the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party, was questioned about a letter provided to Nasheed by the Maldives Correctional Services that confirmed his transfer to house arrest for the remainder of his sentence.
After about three hours at the police headquarters, Solih told the press that he was named in a statement given for the police investigation by jailed former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb.
“I was questioned over what Adeeb had said in his statement,” he said, adding that it would not be appropriate to reveal details.
