Protests, roadblocks as Nasheed voluntarily attends police HQ
02 Aug 2012, 5:32 PM
Former President Mohamed Nasheed attended police headquarters this afternoon, following a request made by police in a letter sent earlier this week.
Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) Youth Wing Leader Aminath Shauna told Minivan News that while the letter was not an official police summons, it accused Nasheed of orchestrating violence against police and vandalism of police property since May 29.
The letter was signed by Deputy Head of Specialist Crime Command, Superintendent Mohamed Riyaz, said Shauna.
She added that Nasheed had decided to attend the station against the advice of both his legal team and the MDP’s National Council, over fears for his safety.
