The Prosecutor General’s (PG) Office is yet to appeal former President Mohamed Nasheed’s terrorism conviction, despite nearly three weeks passing since the announcement of intent to appeal.
Ahmed Nihan, the spokesperson at the PG office, said: “We have not yet submitted to appeal the case. It is still in the research stage.”
Nasheed’s lawyers declined to comment.
Nasheed was found guilty on terrorism charges over the military’s detention of criminal court chief judge Abdulla Mohamed in January 2012.
