Former vice president Ahmed Adeeb’s family and supporters will join the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party’s mass protest on Friday.
“Ahmed Adeeb’s Team Adeeb has officially decided to join the alliance against tyranny,” former youth ministry coordinator Ali Shahid “Steps Ayya” told the press last night.
He described Adeeb’s detention on suspicion of links to the September 28 explosion on President Abdulla Yameen’s speedboat as “a political arrest.” The government insists a bomb targeting the president had caused the explosion.
The MDP protest, titled “Minjuvaan” or emancipation, is aimed at pressuring Yameen to release political prisoners including former President Mohamed Nasheed.
