COLOMBO, Sept 11 global human rights lawyer Amal Clooney on Friday raised concerns over the Maldives’ judiciary after a court dismissed an appeal that could help the release of jailed former president Mohamed Nasheed, who was convicted of terrorism in a case that has drawn worldwide criticism. She was checked by two prison officials before the 90-minute discussion with Nasheed.
However, fellow defence team member Jared Genser today accused the Maldives government of bugging a conversation his team had with Nasheed during a jailhouse visit.
The charge against Nasheed relates to the ordering of the arrest of an allegedly corrupt judge when he was still president in 2012.

Nasheed is serving a 13-year jail term after a rushed trial that found him guilty of “terrorism”. However its image has suffered in recent years due to prolonged political unrest. He ruled from 2008 to February 2012, when he was forced to resign following a mutiny by police and troops.
