The High Court of the Maldives has upheld a Criminal Court verdict to sentence Majidha Adam to 25 years imprisonment, after she was found guilty of being an accomplice to her son’s trade of illegal drugs.
The High Court ruling stated that she had given Rf 5000 (US$342) to her son to run his drug trade.
Majidha claimed in court that she had a mental illness, but the Criminal Court had not considered it in concluding the case, the High Court said.
According to the High Court the case was first lodged in the Criminal Court on 25 June 2007 and was concluded in November 2007.
