Chairman of MDP Ali Waheed has been charged with terrorism, and a hearing has been scheduled for today. Ali Waheed was charged regarding the commotions that occurred on May Day last year.
While the criminal court has scheduled this case for today, Ali Waheed is currently residing in the U.K. Ali Waheed has been living in the United Kingdom since last year, under the protection of the British government.
As Ali Waheed is not in the Maldives, today's hearing may not move forward.
Adhaalath Party's president was previously sentenced to 12 years regarding the protests held by the opposition on May Day.
Ali Waheed has been charged with terrorism due to allegations that he encouraged disorder in the protests held on May Day. It has been a month since this charge was filed in court.
