MCS Refuses to Grant Additional Concessions to Ex-President Yameen

The Maldives Correctional Service denied former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom's request, made through his lawyers, to ease the terms of his house arrest so he could take part in political activities and meet supporters, saying it would violate the law. President Mohamed Muizzu's spokesperson said the administration would not interfere with the judiciary, while noting Muizzu had pledged during his campaign to expedite Yameen's trials and quash his sentence.
