The arrest warrant follows Nasheed’s failure to attend his previously scheduled trial hearing at Hulhumale’ Magistrate Court on 10th February as he was on a visit to India
Former Maldivian president Mohamed Nasheed sought refuge in the Indian High Commission in Male after an arrest warrant was issued against him by a local court which resulted in anti-riot police surrounding the complex.
The former president, who is due to attend a hearing regarding his detention of Chief Judge of the Criminal Court Judge Abdulla Mohamed in January 2012, was inside the Indian High Commission at 1:00pm on Wednesday afternoon following the announcement of the court order.
Nasheed is “seeking advice” in Indian High Commission, local media reported. Police have set up barricades around the High Commission area.
The court summons follows Nasheed’s failure to attend his previously scheduled trial hearing at Hulhumale’ Magistrate Court on 10th February.
The former president, who was on a visit to India after being granted permission by the court, arrived back in Male on 11th February.
