Former President Abdulla Yameen’s appeal hearing on his arrest order has been scheduled for Tuesday.
Abdulla Siyaz, who is part of his legal team, confirmed that the hearing has been scheduled at the High Court.
On February 18, the Criminal Court ordered that Yameen be kept in detention for the rest of his trial on money-laundering charges, after the Prosecutor General’s office stated that he had been offering bribes to change witness testimonies.
In his 21 days in Maafushi Prison, Yameen has been taken to hospital three times over chest pains.
Jumhooree Party (JP) leader Qasim Ibrahim has recently claimed that his detention is unlawful and called for his immediate release.
