The Prosecutor General’s office has raised a terrorism case against three men it argues violated the Terrorism Act after they kidnapped and allegedly tortured on October 15 last year.
The three men were identified as Mohamed Aiman, Ahmed Nadheem and Mohamed Afsah.
Prosecution lawyer of the Prosecutor General’s office Maryam Shahula claimed the three men kept the man hostage, robbed his wallet, used his cash card, and tortured him. He reportedly suffered bruises and cigarette burns to his skin.
The three men denied the claims and invoked their right to a lawyer.
Last October police held a press conference regarding the case. Police said that the kidnappers kept the victim hostage before releasing him for Rf 25,000 (US$1950).
Police said the group called the victim’s father and demanded to pay the money for his release. The victim claimed that his kidnappers also forced him to take illegal drugs.
Deputy Prosecutor General Hussain Shameem did not respond to Minivan News at time of press.

If the government is prosecuting these clowns under terrorism act why are they on the same breath giving clemency to extremists in hinmandhoo and the sultan park bombers
Good thing these people r being charged under the terrorism act. I do hope there is enough evidence gathered to ensure a conviction...
But i agree with Nashath...about the Himandhoo cases...why were these ppl released. They r as dangerous, if not more so than the ppl in question in this article.
