Former President Mohamed Nasheed’s lawyer Mahfooz Saeed will fly to Sri Lanka tonight for further treatment for a stab wound.
“Mahfooz is stable. He is now able to speak and walk. But we want to consult specialist doctors,” said a family member.
Mahfooz was stabbed by two men on a busy street in broad daylight in Malé on Friday. The 26-year-old narrowly suruvived the life-threatening attack after undergoing surgery to remove the knife, lodged three and a half inches deep above his left ear.
President Abdulla Yameen has condemned the attack while Home Minister Umar Naseer has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.
