Arrest warrant issued for Mohamed Nasheed

A criminal court in the Maldives has issued an arrest order for former president Mohamed Nasheed and his former defence minister, officials from his party told AFP today.

“The court has given the order to arrest Nasheed and the (former) defence minister,” said Adam Gafoor, a senior figure in Nasheed’s Maldivian Democratic Party.

A second party source confirmed the news, but new Maldives police chief Abdulla Riyas said he had no knowledge of the order. “I am not aware of it,” he said.

Nasheed resigned on Tuesday amid protests over his rule. He says he was forced to resign by security forces.

It is unclear what the charges against the former president might be.

There are also reports that the family of Nasheed have fled to neighbouring Sri Lanka.
