Lawyers to parliament over Home Minister Imran's "irresponsible" remarks

The lawyers representing the victim of the safari sexual assault case, on Sunday, addressed a letter to Parliament Speaker Mohamed Nasheed condemning Minister of Home Affairs Abdulla Imran's remarks which downplayed the severity of the case.

Speaking on air during a programme on national radio station 'Dhivehi Raajjeyge Adu' on Saturday, the minister stated that the case was a "minor" incident that "could have been perpetrated in a public space" without attracting attention.
