A Maldives inquiry commission has determined that the Indian Ocean archipelago's first democratically elected president was not forced to resign, as he has claimed.
An inquiry commission has determined that the Maldives' first democratically elected president was not forced to resign, as he has claimed.
The former president of the Maldives was charged Monday with illegally ordering the arrest of a senior judge, escalating tensions on the Indian ocean island nation.
Maldives' first democratically elected president says the United States must acknowledge that he was ousted in a coup and press the current government of the Indian Ocean island nation to hold presidential elections this year.
Army trucks loaded with artillery rolled by the memorial palace for North Korea's late leaders as Kim Jong-un presided over a military birthday commemoration for his father Thursday.
Supporters of the former Maldives president rioted through the streets of the capital and seized some remote police stations Wednesday to demand his reinstatement, as the country's new leader appealed for an end to the political turmoil roiling the Indian Ocean island nation.
Mr. Hassan, who earlier promised to protect Mr. Nasheed from retribution, said his predecessor was not under any restriction and was free to leave the country.
New President Mohammed Waheed Hassan denied claims there was a coup or a plot to oust Mr. Nasheed.
