Former President Mohamed Nasheed who has been serving a 13 year prison sentence on terrorism charges has been changed to house arrest for the remainder of his sentence.
Many parliament members of the party have tweeted saying Nasheed may face a leniency on his sentence، while others are hinting he may face a possible pardon.
Former President Mohamed Nasheed was under house arrest، as advised by a doctor، for medical reasons.
The members who have hinted ‘the possible freeing of Nasheed’، said it is due to the political dialogue currently being held between MDP and the Government، to resolve the political conflicts.
MDP seems to have made a decisive n strategic breakthrough in its peace talks w/ the government.
