New Delhi: Maldives Prosecutor General Hussain Shameem, who was appointed by the previous government, was attacked in Male, local media reported on Wednesday. Shameem was attacked on a street in the capital city, SunOnline International reported.
The attack on Shameem was reported to the authorities on Wednesday morning, a police spokesperson confirmed to the Maldivian news outlet. He is being treated for his injuries at the ADK Hospital. “Preliminary findings establish that he was not attacked with a sharp-edged weapon,” the spokesperson added.
This incident comes as the main opposition announced its plan to impeach Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu this week. However, the government has approached the Supreme Court over the recent amendment to Parliament’s standing orders which makes the process of impeachment easier.
