Former President Mohamed Nasheed underwent an MRI scan for an old spinal injury at the ADK hospital at 9am on Saturday.
The jailed opposition leader’s family and lawyers had filed repeated requests for the scan, and have said they worry for his safety.
He was sentenced to 13 years in jail on a terrorism charge. In June, he was transferred to house arrest amidst talks on political reconciliation. He was returned to jail in August, despite lawyers saying the government had commuted his sentence to house arrest.
Nasheed was brought to the hospital under a heavy guard.
