Pres-Elect Solih meets Adhaalath Party leader Imran

President-Elect Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, on Saturday, met with Adhaalath Party leader Sheikh Imran Abdulla.
This is the first time Solih had met Imran post his release from confinement.
Imran was convicted for terrorism and sentenced for 12 years over allegedly inciting violence after his involvement in the major opposition rally, May-Day parade, in 2015.
The court issued a temporary order on Thursday suspending Imran's sentence and ordered authorities to release him until a judgement can be reached on the conviction.
United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention had also declared that he was convicted unlawfully and called on the Maldivian government for his immediate release and compensation.
President-Elect Ibrahim Mohamed Solih had also met with Sheikh Imran at his residence, post his shift to house arrest on June 26. Imran was the first party leader from the opposition coalition to meet with Solih since the opposition's election victory.
