Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom met with some of the general members of the party this evening.

This is the first time he has met the general members of the party at a meeting after his 11-year jail term in the MMPRC case.

Channel 13 telecasted visuals of the meeting held at the PPM office with the audio cut off. The media was not invited as the meeting was an unofficial one.

During the meeting, President Yameen said that he would soon meet the Maldivian people at a major PPM meeting, channel 13 reported.

President Yameen met with the general members of the party after the Maldives Correctional Service relaxed his prison remand yesterday. Corrections stated that President Yameen has been granted the exemption to go out after obtaining permission from the agency for health care matters.

President Yameen was sentenced to 11 years in prison by a criminal court on December 25 last year after he was found guilty of bribery and money laundering.

President Yameen's appeal against his jail term is pending in the High Court and the case is also nearing completion.
