Former President Mohamed ‘Anni’ Nasheed was convicted of terrorism and sentenced to 13 years in prison on his 21st wedding anniversary, on March 13.
Following is a translation of a Raajje.mv interview with Nasheed’s wife, Laila Ali. This is the first time the former first lady spoke to local media on the struggle she and her daughters have faced throughout Nasheed’s long campaign for democracy in the Maldives.
Nasheed has two daughters, Meera Nasheed and Zaya Nasheed.
