Monday, July 12th, 2010

Supreme Court has ordered the release of MP for Maamigili, Qasim Ibrahim and MP for Mulaku, Abdulla Yaameen.

Supreme Court ordered the release of Qasim Ibrahim on the hearing of the appeal by Qasim Ibrahim, on the verdict by High Court to extend his house arrest for 15 days. Qasim’s hearing was concluded around 1745 hrs. Yaameen’s appeal case was held around 1900 hrs.

Miadhu Daily understands that the appeal case was scheduled for today morning, however was delayed to afternoon.

High Court’s orders to keep both MPs in detention for 15 days were issued last Monday. However, Police have also appealed the rulings by High Court, requesting that both Qasim and Yaameen should be detained in a detention facility.

However, Supreme Court ruled that High Court’s ruling to keep the MPs under house arrest was not correct.

Both Qasim and Yaameen have been denying the charges against them. Qasim has been maintaining that the charges and evidence against him were fabricated.

Hassan Afeef, President’s Political Advisor has previously said that President Nasheed will accept Supreme Court rulings on the case.
