<p>The Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend
the Member for East Devon (Mr Swire), has spoken directly with the Maldives Foreign
Minister on a number of occasions regarding former President Nasheed and in August
wrote to her expressing our concern about Mr Nasheed's return to prison. On 10 November
Mr Swire met for a second time Mrs Laila Ali, wife of former President Nasheed as
well as Amal Clooney and Ben Emmerson QC from Mr Nasheed’s legal team. The meeting
was an opportunity to discuss the situation in the Maldives as well as Mr Nasheed’s
case, his health and wellbeing.</p>
