The Maldives Correctional Service says it needs additional documents to extend former President Mohamed Nasheed’s 30-day leave from prison.
The MCS medical board “has rejected the application as it is now, but has decided to extend a further opportunity to submit required papers,” said Mohamed Husham, the Commissioner General of Prison.
Nasheed, who was sentenced to 13 years in a trial labeled politically motivated by UN human rights experts, was granted 30 days of leave for a back surgery in an internationally brokered deal. He has requested an additional 60 days.
He was sentenced over the military detention of a judge during his tenure.
