Former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed sought refuge in the Indian High Commission after issuance of an arrest warrant by a Maldivian court.
The arrest warrant was issued against him for failure to appear in a local court.
Earlier, as rumours began to do the rounds that Mr.Nasheed has sought refuge, the Ministry of External Affairs officials told The Hindu that “it was not a crisis situation.” Mr. Nasheed was waiting to meet the Indian High Commissioner — who was not at the premises — and that he had not sought refuge in the Indian High Commission.
The MDP wanted the international community to immediately intervene to ensure a free and fair trial for Mr.Nasheed. Claiming that a medical emergency in India was the reason behind Mr.Nasheed being unable to attend the second hearing of the case, scheduled for February 10, it said that due process was not followed. “According to the regulations, if the accused is unable to attend the hearing and after informing the court, documentation must be provided to the court within two working days. While time frame to produce the documents has not even passed, and when the documents were being processed, the court issued an arrest warrant,” the MDP said.
