After nearly four months under house arrest, Adhaalath Party leader Sheikh Imran Abdulla was abruptly transferred to prison last night until the conclusion of his ongoing terrorism trial.
Shortly before midnight, the criminal court voided its previous order to keep Imran under house arrest and ordered the home ministry to take him back to custody.
Imran’s lawyer Husnu Suood told The Maldives Independent that his client was taken to the police detention centre on Dhoonidhoo island around 1:00am.
Suood said Judge Abdul Bari Yousuf issued the court order.
