MP of Hulhuhenveiru constituency and Vice President of the People’s Majlis، Reeko Moosa Manik has said that the UN cannot free former President Nasheed.
Speaking at the committee debate on Bill on Amendment of the Clemency Act today، Reeko Moosa Manik said that if foreign authorities could take action، they would investigate the ‘coup’ and take action against those responsible for the ‘coup’.
Moosa also said that President Nasheed was transferred back to prison from home detention also as a result of MDP speaking deceivingly.
Speaking further، Moosa said that MDP imposed a three-line whip to vote for a certain thing and acted on it in the chance they got to free President Nasheed، and he knows that that the government also lied about it.
Moosa also noted that some people are trying to tarnish his reputation.
“It was published in some newspapers that I am in the Committee on National Security in Majlis in a slot of MDP. However، I have still not been notified of a dismissal from the committee. That is something being done to tarnish my reputation”، said Moosa.
United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (UNWGAD) has called to immediately release the former president Mohamed Nasheed، sentenced to 13 years in prison on terror charges for abducting criminal court sitting chief judge in 2012.
Publicizing the report following Nasheed’s complaint filed in the group، UNWGAD stated to release Nasheed and to compensate Nasheed as under International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
In the report، WGAD noted that former president is being held captive unlawfully، reflecting on the laws constituted under Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
