Jailed Maldives ex-leader Mohamed Nasheed leaves for UK
16 January 2016 Asia
The Maldivian opposition leader and former president, Mohamed Nasheed, has left for the UK where he is due to have back surgery.
Nasheed's departure was delayed by a day after - according to his party - the government imposed new conditions on his trip.
Nasheed was given a 13-year sentence under anti-terror laws last year.
The Maldivian government said Nasheed had signed an undertaking to return after his treatment.
His brother has agreed to act as guarantor, it said.
