The EU takes note of the acceptance by the prosecution of a defence request to defer the trial until after the upcoming presidential elections in September and hopes that this would offer the means to ensure that ex-President Nasheed is able to participate in the electoral campaign, under the same conditions as other candidates.
EL võtab teadmiseks, et prokurör rahuldas kaitsja taotluse lükata asja kohtulik arutamine edasi kuni septembris toimuvate presidendivalimiste lõpuni ning loodab, et see võimaldab tagada, et endine president Nasheed saab valimiskampaanias osaleda teiste kandidaatidega võrdsetel tingimustel.
