| Maldives invites UN to observe ex-president's court appeal |
| 2015-03-25 |
| [ARABNEWS] The Maldives government on Tuesday invited the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... and other international organizations to observe the former president's appeal of his 13-year jail sentence for ordering a judge's arrest while in office. The United States, European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... and others have raised concerns about the court process that found Mohammed Nasheed guilty of ordering the arrest of a senior judge when he was in office three years ago. The court said the arrest was akin to abduction under the country's terrorism law. The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it has invited the United Nations and the Commonwealth to send representatives to observe the appeal hearing. The invitation didX not elaborate, but it comes after UN human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... chief Zeid Raad Al-Hussein said last week there were "flagrant irregularities" in the case against Nasheed and urged the Maldives government to allow international jurists to observe the appeal. |
