The Maldives criticised the UN human rights chief's call to release the country's imprisoned former president, calling it an effort to circumvent rule of law.
The foreign ministry said in a statement yesterday that it rejects High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein's allegation that the law in the Maldives is being manipulated for political ends.
