No Evidence of Political Involvement in Attack Targeting Nasheed: Special Envoy

Special Envoy Abbas Faiz stated that there is no evidence of political involvement in the terrorist attack on Speaker Mohamed Nasheed. Faiz said allegations linking the attack to the MMPRC scandal are unfounded, as the attack was planned long before the list release. The attack appears to have been carried out by homegrown religious extremists, with perpetrators funding it themselves. Faiz expressed dissatisfaction with the speed of trials, citing delays at the Criminal Court premises, and called on the Judicial Services Commission (JSC) to address administrative issues. Faiz was appointed by President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih in May 2021 to monitor the investigation, prosecution, and trial.
