The Maldives opposition was Tuesday turned away from police headquarters, after they sought a meeting with the commissioner to release high-profile political detainees.
Police blocked off and turned away the six opposition figures wishing to meet Commissioner Abdulla Nawaz regarding the implementation of the Supreme Court’s February 1 ruling, reported Mihaaru.
The Supreme Court order the immediate release of prisoners including the former president Mohamed Nasheed and former vice president Ahmed Adeeb. But the ruling was overturned during a state of emergency.
The order needed to be implemented by Nawaz, said Hassan Latheef from the Maldivian Democratic Party, and other officers should do it if Nawaz was unwilling to do so.
