Former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb’s wife Mariyam Nashwa has revealed the many restrictions faced by his husband in prison.

In a tweet posted in the early hours of Tuesday, Nashwa listed the violations of Adeeb's basic rights such as denying meetings with his lawyer and adequate medical treatment.

Nashwa said that Adeeb has to sleep on a concrete floor and that he has to use a bucket to shower and flush.

Adeeb is also being kept in solitary confinement and is not being granted special protection, reads Nashwa’s tweet. The tweet further reads that Adeeb is granted a familial visit once every month in the visiting room, through a glass wall on the phone for an hour.

Nashwa concluded her tweet by sarcastically thanking the authorities and the ruling Progressive Party of the Maldives' Parliamentary Group.
