Supreme Court Justice Husnu Al Suood Resigns, Accuses President Muizzu of Judicial Interference

Supreme Court Justice Husnu Al Suood resigned on Tuesday, alleging that President Mohamed Muizzu exerted undue influence over judges hearing a constitutional case. His resignation followed the Judicial Service Commission's suspension last Wednesday of three Supreme Court justices, which led to the cancellation of a hearing on a petition challenging a constitutional amendment, and a parliamentary bill reducing the number of Supreme Court justices from seven to five.
