Colombo:
A court in Maldives Thursday ordered the arrest of ousted
president Mohamed Nasheed and former defence minister, a media
report said.
The Criminal Court ordered the arrest of Nasheed and former
defence minister Tholhath Ibrahim Kaleyfaanu, reported haveeru.com.
In a bid to shore up his power, new Maldives President Mohamed
Waheed has appointed two new ministers including army colonel
Mohamed Nazim, who will be the minister of defence.
Violence erupted Wednesday in capital Male after Nasheed, who quit
the previous day, took to the streets along with thousands of his
supporters.
The police and army attacked the protesters who were shouting
slogans against new President Mohamed Waheed and alleging that his
taking office was illegal and undemocratic.
