The Criminal Court has extended the detention period of two persons arrested for allegedly printing ballot papers in Kulhudhufushi.
According to local newspapers, the two suspects were brought to Male’ when the Kulhudhufushi Magistrate Court extended their detention period to three days.
They were taken to the Criminal Court last night (14 September) as the three day period was about to expire.
At the time of the arrest on September 12 , an island council member of Kulhudhufushi, who spoke to Minivan News on condition of anonymity, said the printed ballot papers in question were bigger than the actual ballot papers and were also laminated.
“I heard they were printed by some pro-Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) supporters to make people aware of what the ballot papers would look like,” he said.
