Home Ministry responds to rumours of freed inmates

Following a recent incident where an inmate who was not pardoned by the president was freed, Ministry of Home Affairs stated Sunday that only the completed investigation would reveal whether any other such detainees had been released.

Maldives Police Service and Maldives Correctional Service (MCS) are currently probing the case where an inmate, who was not among those recently pardoned by President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih under the Clemency Act, was released.
