Jailed former President Mohamed Nasheed’s older brother has agreed to act as a guarantor during the opposition leader’s 30-day stay in the United Kingdom, after the government conceded to demands and waived criminal liability for the guarantor.
The Maldives Independent understands that the eleventh-hour concession follows a concerted lobbying effort by top diplomats from the UK, US, India and Sri Lanka.
In a tweet, Nasheed’s brother Ibrahim Nashid said he had signed an amended document at 5:00pm agreeing to pass information on Nasheed’s whereabouts to the government.
“The family refused to sign the hostage document,” he said.
