After Six Days In Jail, Ameen Faisal Sees Lawyer

Six days after he was arrested and taken to Dhoonidhoo prison, Shadow Defence Minister, Ameen Faisal, has been able to see his lawyer. Mariya Ahmed Didi visited the prison at 10:30am on Saturday. She reports that she also visited the prison on Friday, but when she arrived officials knew nothing of her visit and she was refused entry. Mr Faisal’s family had voiced concern that he had been denied access to legal advice, labeling it, “a blatant violation of all international human rights treaties.”
