He is still required to see his physicians in the hospital twice a week for a month for check-ups, Naashid had informed Mihaaru.
“He [Nasheed] can now do things well now. However some parts of him still remain swollen,” he had said.
Last week, Nasheed’s family released several photos to the public showcasing the injuries he had received. The photos depict a long cut stitched from his chest to his abdomen. ADK doctors had said several shrapnel used in the IED had entered his body, leaving to tears in his intestines as well. They had to clean it and stitch that as well.
