The Criminal Court has ordered a 10-day remand for MDP Vice President Mohamed Shifaz arrested on Monday.
According to RaajjeMV reporters present at the scene, Shifaz was arrested after he refused to move away from the court area.
The reporters also saw a group of police officers pushing him before apprehending him minutes later.
Dozens of MDP supporters had gathered in front of the Justice Building to express their solidarity with the 15 individuals being prosecuted over a protest at Ibrahim Nasir International Aiport in March 2015.
The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has condemned the arrest of its Vice President Mohamed Shifaz by Maldives Police Service and said the arrest of yet another political leader proves the Government’s call for political party talks is insincere.
In a statement released yesterday, the party also insisted Shifaz’s arrest had made it abundantly clear to the world that the Maldivian government was never really willing to engage in dialogue with the opposition, and that its invitation for political party talks was just an attempt to hoodwink the international community.
