MP Ahmed Mahloof and opposition-aligned private broadcaster Raajje TV journalist Mohamed Wisam and cameraman Adam Zareer are among nine arrested from last night’s opposition protest march.
A police media official told Minivan News today that the former ruling party MP, two journalists and six others were arrested for “obstructing police duties and disobeying police orders.”
The Criminal Court this morning extended the remand detention of the Galolhu South MP and the two journalists to five days.
While one protester was released from police custody, the court extended the remand detention of two protesters to seven days and three protesters to five days.
