The Criminal Court has extended the detention period of two men who allegedly confronted and threatened to kill Home Minister Dr Mohamed Jameel during his official visit to their island.
In a statement the Criminal Court confirmed that the court extended their pretrial detention period to 15 days.
The Court identified the pair as Abdulla Rasheed, 32, Banafsaage and Mohamed Nazly, 30, Sheereen Villa from the island of Maaenbudhoo in Dhaa Atoll.
According to local newspapers, Dr Jameel went to Maaenbudhoo to meet with the Island Council and the pair confronted Jameel on his arrival as he stepped onto the island.
The two men threatened to kill Dr Jameel, attack his family and called Dr Jameel a “thief”, reported local media.
If the case is sent to the court and the court finds the pair guilty, they will face a sentence of 6-18 months in prison.
Police Spokesperson Sub-Inspector Hassan Haneef did not respond to Minivan News at time of press.
Police have started considering threats against officers as a serious issue after an officer was stabbed to death on the island of Kaashidhoo in Kaafu Atoll last month.

Minivannews reporting at its best 'considering threats against officers as a serious issue' when is a death threat not a serious issue you cant go around threatning people in the name of democracy, politics, I dont think the police are overreacting, all this animosity towards any one who doesnt support them by political sheep is disgusting, such behaviour, the norm within MDP, shameful.
“Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:
- I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
- I shall fear only God.
- I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
- I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
- I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
