Ahmed Abbas Goes To Court

The cartoonist Ahmed Abbas went to court early January 21 about a quote he gave to the newspaper Minivan Daily in 2005. Abbas appeared without a lawyer, whom he was unable to contact after being told in the middle of the night of the morning appearance. Abbas has been in jail since November, and remains on the radar of several human rights' groups. His detention is part of a national crackdown on independent journalism in the Maldives.
