Opposition MP and Rtd. Brigadier General Ibrahim Didi was seen at the July 26 midnight official flag hoisting ceremony to mark Independence Day. He was flown to India for medical treatment amidst a terrorism trial.
The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) MP was charged over the arrest of a judge during former President Mohamed Nasheed’s tenure. At the time of the arrest, he was the head of the Malé area command.
Didi returned on Friday, local media report.
In early July, the Prosecutor General’s office dropped terror charges after the criminal court acquitted two former military officers who were also accused of the crime. They are Moosa Ali Jaleel, former chief of defence forces and current minister of defence, and Ahmed Ziyad, a former colonel.
