The opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) expressed alarm over recurring prisoner deaths after a 62-year-old inmate died by suicide in Maafushi Prison on Tuesday, citing possible negligence and calling for a full investigation. The incident follows the suicide of 32-year-old Adam Athhar in Dhoonidhoo Prison earlier this month, which the Human Rights Commission of the Maldives is investigating.
