Supporters of Jailed Former President Gather in Male

Protesters gathered outside a mosque in Male on March 27, demanding the release of former president Mohamed Nasheed, who was sentenced to 13 years’ imprisonment earlier this month. Nasheed was found guilty of abducting a criminal court judge while in office.

Protesters also voiced their support for Mohamed Nazim, the former Maldivian minister of defence who was sentenced to 11 years in prison on March 26, after he was found guilty of importing and harboring weapons.
