Maldives has become a lucrative destination for international lawyers on government as well as private hire. How much would these professionals understand about Maldives in such a short period of time and without a ground in depth investigations on whatever subjects they're handling.
Don't we have Maldivians capable? We do, but corruption!!!
I guess a few (hundred?) thousand pounds in the pocket can make any lawyer say almost anything.
You can argue with various views and reasons and even get paid people to justify your action, but the reality is something different; Nasheed has been victimized by his enemies this include Judiciary and people who head current Government. Those were the people engineered, conspired and rebelled to bring down Nadsheed Government. Universal human rights should not be tried in front of any tribunal to satisfy some crooks for their political gambling. This is the question of innocent man who wanted to bring democracy, human rights and freedom in Maldives and those who were against him.
Let me fill in, for the benefit of our foreign readers what Mr. Cadman, who is paid hundreds of thousands of US Dollars by this mafia regime conveniently forgets to mention.
"Judge" Abdulla Mohamed asked a child to describe the sexual abuse he suffered, in court in the presence his molester. "Judge" Abdulla routinely opened his court room during weekends, at midnight, to immediately and unconditionally release criminals - most famously releasing a murderer to "teach police a lesson" who went on to murder another person not long after being released. When the Judicial watchdog began proceedings against Judge Abdulla, he had one of his fellow judges order the judicial watchdog to halt all investigations !
The last straw was when "Judge" Abdulla hampered with the arrest of a hate monger (our current vice President) who released a pamphlet calling for the overthrow of the government, accusing the "Jews and Christians of the West" conspiring against the Muslims of Maldives with the help of President Nasheed.
Maldives did not have a judiciary then and neither do we have one now. Criminals who serve as "judges" do not make a judiciary.
Unlike Mr. Cadman, I do not ask you to take my word. Please read extensive articles by better qualified people - search this website for Aishath Velezinee or Gabriella Knaul. Unlike Mr. Cadman, they weren't paid big money. They also present legally, morally and ethically sound arguments.
Let's start by cracking his lies to pieces, one by one, until the enemy's case is broken.
Tony Cadman's opening statement declares that Nasheed ordered the kidnapping of the judge, then under British Law, he could have been charged with kidnapping and false imprisonment - an offence which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
But the question stands; would British law allow a child-abusing judge who uses his position to free drug barons and murderers to score points with the gang he is in service to remain sitting in the bench?
The prosecution of former President Mohamed Nasheed is built upon certain assumptions - assumptions that Toby Cadman is very anxious to parrot as universal truths if he is to earn his paycheck. One of them being that Abdulla Mohamed is a legitimate, faultless judge appointed through due process.
Not according constitutional its for serous accuse the Govt. must provide a lawyer for the person.The govt gave him phone is custody and ask him find a lawyer he was unable find one the trail was with out lower.which is unconstitutional.
