Mohamed Nasheed (Dhivehi: މުހައްމަދު ނަޝީދު; born 17 May 1967) is a Maldivian politician, human rights and environmental activist, who served as the fourth President of the Maldives from 2008 to 2012.〔 He was the first democratically elected president of the Maldives and one of the founders of the Maldivian Democratic Party. In the 2008 presidential election, Nasheed was elected as the candidate of the first opposition coalition defeating President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, who had ruled the Maldives as President for 30 continuous years. Nasheed assumed office on 11 November 2008. On 7 February 2012, Nasheed resigned as president under disputed circumstances, following weeks of protests by the opposition, which had then been joined by a majority of military and police forces. The next day Nasheed stated that he had been forced to resign "at gunpoint" by police and army officers, and that the protesters had joined with "powerful networks" of Gayoom loyalists to force his resignation in a ''coup d'état''. Nasheed's successor, Mohammed Waheed Hassan, who had been a 2003 political appointee of President Maumoon Gayoom, denied these claims and stated that the transfer of power was voluntary and constitutional. The Maldives' Commission of National Inquiry reported that it had found no evidence to support Nasheed's version of events.〔 On 30 August 2014, Nasheed was elected as the President of Maldivian Democratic Party In March 2015, Nasheed was convicted under the Anti-Terrorism Act of Maldives〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed jailed for 13 years )〕 for arresting Criminal Court Judge Abdulla Mohamed while president and sentenced to 13 years at Maafushi Prison.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Maldives president Nasheed jailed for 13 years )〕 Amnesty International has described the conviction as "politically motivated",〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Amnesty International )〕 and the United States Department of State expressed concern at "apparent lack of appropriate criminal procedures during the trial".〔 ==Early life== Nasheed was born in Malé, Maldives, to a middle-class family. He attended Majeediyya School in Maldives between 1971 and 1981. He continued his secondary school education at the Overseas School of Colombo in Sri Lanka from 1981 to 1982 until he completed his GCE O Levels. In August 1982 he moved to England, where he completed his higher secondary education at Dauntsey's School in Wiltshire. Straight after his GCE A Levels, Nasheed moved north to Liverpool, where he spent the next three years reading in maritime studies at Liverpool Polytechnic (later Liverpool John Moores University), graduating in 1989.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Notable alumni )〕 Nasheed was held in prison for an article in the political magazine ''Sangu'', published in 1991, alleging the government had rigged the 1989 General election. He was named an Amnesty International prisoner of conscience in 1991. He has stated that he was tortured while in detention, including being chained to a chair outside for 12 days and forced to eat food containing crushed glass. He was later alleged by the government, to have withheld information about a bombing plot. On 8 April 1992, he was sentenced to three years in prison on that charge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mohamed Nasheed )〕 He was released in June 1993, then re-arrested in 1994 and 1995. In 1996 he was sentenced to two years imprisonment for an article he had written about the 1993 and 1994 Maldivian elections, and was again designated a prisoner of conscience.〔 In all, he was arrested more than twenty times during Gayoom's rule,〔 missing the births of both of his daughters.〔 During his time in jail, he spent significant amounts of time studying, producing three books on Maldivian history.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mohamed Nasheed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
