The Criminal Court’s summons of attorney Hisaan Hussain is a blatant act of intimidation, said former President Mohamed Nasheed.
In a tweet on Sunday, Nasheed also said that the court summons is ‘another assault on the rule of law.’

The summons was given for an interview she gave outside the courthouse after concluding the court hearing on the charges against Supreme Court Chief Justice Abdulla Saeed and Justice Ali Hameed.
After the justices were found guilty at Thursday’s hearing and given a prison sentence of seven months and six days, Hisaan left the hearing and gave an exclusive interview to RaajjeTV.
