Aslam previously said Yameen must stay in jail: Shujau

Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) / People's National Congress (PNC) coalition senior official Ibrahim Shujau has responded to Parliament Speaker Aslam's statement last night where he claimed he would submit to the Judicial Services Commission (JSC) his concerns about the delays in proceeding the appeal case for former President Abdulla Yameen, who is currently serving an 11 year prison sentence for money laundering and bribery.

In a campaign rally held in Addu last night, Aslam, who is a member of the JSC as Speaker of Parliament as well as the MP for North Hithadhoo constituency, stated that the delays in holding Yameen's appeal case is evidence that the government is interfering in the judicial process regarding Yameen's case.
