Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has met with the freed detainees who were arrested under the State of Emergency (SoE) decree.
The meeting was held on Tuesday evening at Salt Café.
Those who joined the meeting include MDP Chairperson Hassan Latheef, the party’s women’s league president Shifa Mohamed, and secretary general Anas Abdul Sattar.
Authorities arrested numerous people after President Abdulla Yameen declared the State of Emergency on February 5.
Speaking at the meeting, women’s league president Shifa Mohamed said MDP has always watched over those arrested at protests and given them legal counsel.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, MDP secretary general Abdul Sattar said they wanted to get information on the poor condition of the prisons and remand centers, as well as the police officers’ reported unethical behavior.
Some of MDP’s senior members had earlier failed to meet with the home minister to discuss the poor condition of the prisons.
