President Yameen is not a leader who will flee the country: Abdul Raheem

Acting leader of Progressive Coalition and PNC’s President Abdul Raheem Abdulla (Adhurey) has stated that former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom is not a leader who will abandon and flee the country.

He also tweeted that President Yameen will not make any deals with the current authoritarian regime. In the same tweet, Abdul Raheem noted that President Yameen would not abandon and flee the country.

In addition, he noted that President Yameen has the courage to face his adversaries and that President Yameen’s innocence will be proven to all. His comments came in response to Speaker of Parliament President Mohamed Nasheed’s claims that President Yameen declined the offer to be freed from prison.

The government has provided the opportunity for President Yameen to leave the country. However, President Yameen has reiterated that he wants to leave prison as a free man when the courts acquit him.
