Maldives High Court overturns Yameen's prison sentence.

The Maldives High Court has overturned former President Abdulla Yameen's 11-year prison sentence on money laundering and bribery charges, ruling that his 2022 trial was unfair. The High Court ordered a retrial for Yameen, which takes place ahead of parliamentary elections in the country. Yameen had been convicted in 2020 for accepting money for leasing a government-owned island during his 2013-2018 term in office.
