The parliament on Monday approved the government-backed amendment bill to the Prevention of Terrorism Act, which accords greater authorities to the police, including the right to make warrantless arrests in terrorism cases.
The bill, lobbied by Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP)'s Parliamentary Group's Deputy Leader and Henveiru South MP Hussain Shaheem, was passed unanimously by the 52 lawmakers present at the third extraordinary sitting of the ongoing 19th parliament.
