The Commission of National Inquiry (CNI) formed by President Mohamed Waheed to investigate the controversial transfer of power in February told press last week that the government was not consulted prior to the release of its timeline of events on June 6.
At a CNI press conference on Thursday, Dr Fawaz Shareef explained that the timeline was based on information collected as of the first week of June and the CNI “would not hesitate” to make changes to the timeline if new evidence emerges.
Dr Ibrahim Yasir said the commission was receiving a lot of comments after making the timeline publicly available on the CNI website.
Ahmed ‘Gahaa’ Saeed, former President Mohamed Nasheed’s representative on the commission, said there were a number of reports have been released on the events of February 7 and all publicly available information should be considered in forming a comprehensive timeline.
Following the release of the CNI timeline, the formerly ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) contended that the facts included in the CNI version was sufficient to prove Dr Waheed’s involvement in the alleged “coup d’etat” and establish that President Nasheed was forced to resign under duress.
