A statement released on Tuesday by Lawyer Aiminath Nash'a, representing one of the expatriate workers arrested in the recent Bodufinolhu riot, levied new accusations against Seal Maldives.
On July 2, Maldives Police Service arrested 19 out of 200 expatriate workers which partook in protests over their employer's failure to pay six months of salary, which culminated in the holding of 13 Maldivian staff hostage at Bodufinolhu, Baa Atoll - an island being developed as a resort property by Seal Maldives.
