The President’s Office has denied holding discussions with the Government of India on imprisoning former President Abdulla Yameen.
A news outlet has published a report claiming that a foreign diplomat had requested the president to jail former President Yameen.
In response, the President’s Office stated that the report is completely fabricated and showed a lack of journalistic integrity by abusing the right to freedom of the press to disseminate false information. It urged media outlets to refrain from publishing fabricated reports regarding the Maldives and other countries.
