Jailed former vice president Ahmed Adeeb must not be allowed to flee before a fresh investigation into the abduction of Ahmed Rilwan, the missing journalist’s family said Saturday.
In a press statement, Rilwan’s family expressed concern and displeasure with growing calls from opposition leaders to authorise Adeeb to seek medical treatment overseas.
The family fears Adeeb – who serving a 33-year sentence on multiple counts of corruption and terrorism – will not return if he is allowed to leave the country.
“Our family believes that Ahmed Adeeb needs to be questioned and investigated in relation to Rilwan’s abduction. Previously revealed information points to Adeeb’s connection with people suspected of abducting Rilwan,” the family said.
