Adhaalath Party leader Sheikh Imran Abdulla was transferred from prison to house arrest Tuesday evening.
He will be taken back once repair and maintenance work is complete on his jail cell, the Maldives Correctional Service spokesman told the media.
Imran, who was convicted of terrorism over a speech he gave at the 2015 May Day anti-government protest, was previously transferred to house arrest in September after his wife gave birth to a son.
He was abruptly taken back a month later.
