The President of Adhaalath Party Sheikh Imran Abdulla, indicted for terrorism and held in a high security prison, was transferred to house arrest today.
Imran was arrested for a second time on June 2, ahead of the first hearing on terrorism the next day. Judges ordered Imran be kept in police custody until the trial concluded.
However, the trial did not proceed beyond one hearing.
Imran’s lawyer Ali Zahir said the Criminal Court today reviewed its earlier decision to keep Imran in custody, and transferred him to house arrest as the trial remains stalled.
