Maldives Police Service has given social media activist Muzarraf “Muju” Mohamed Naeem a period of two weeks to present himself to the authority for questioning.
In a statement, police had urged Naeem to present himself for questioning over a case being investigated against him. Police added that if Naeem fails to present himself, the case will be forwarded to the Prosecutor General's (PG) office for prosecution in absentia.
Police have not disclosed the reason for the summons or questioning.
Self-proclaimed secular humanist Naeem currently lives abroad.
The criminal court, on May 23, also gave self-exiled former Judicial Service Commission (JSC) member Aishath Velezinee a 14-day period to be present for questioning in an on-going case against her.
Velezinee, who is seeking refuge in Hague, posted several videos via Facebook Live where she had made blasphemous statements about Prophet Muhammed, the Islamic concept of after-life, and outlandishly claimed that the archangel Gabriel had visited her.
