UN ORDERS MALDIVES TO DELAY IMPLEMENTING DEATH SENTENCE ON HUMAAM

July 12, 2016: United Nations has ordered Maldives to delay implementing death sentence on Humaam.
The temporary order issued by UN states that Maldives should not implement the death penalty until the case filed by Humaam’s family at UN is resolved. Previously the U.N HR office also issued a statement saying that the trial of Humaam as unfair.
U.N’s statement said that Humaam confessed because he was forced to do so. But it doesnt exactly say how they know this. U.N also requested not to implement death penalty after 60 years. Maldives haven’t executed anyone in 60 years. The Supreme court decided to up hold the rulings of lower courts on 24th June. (Sources: vaguthu.mv, 12/07/2016)
