The Juvenile Court has acquitted a minor charged with terrorism in the wake of a violent confrontation in the island of Himandhoo in Alif Alif atoll between a breakaway religious group and security forces.
The confrontation occurred in 2007 after police and military were dispatched to the island to shut down a private mosque and arrest suspects in the Sultan Park bombing incident.
Juvenile Court Spokesperson Zaeema Nasheed confirmed that the case was concluded today.
“This morning the case was concluded that he was found innocent,” Zaeema said. “He had been charged with terrorism.”
