Maldives authorities have arrested former president and current opposition leader Mohamed Nasheed, ordering him to stand trial for his 2012 decision to arrest a senior judge.
A document signed by a senior criminal court judge, seen by The Associated Press news agency, said Nasheed was being charged under anti-terrorism laws.
Nasheed resigned as president in February 2012 following weeks of public protests against his order to arrest Criminal Court Chief Judge Abdulla Mohamed. Mohamed was charged with corruption, but later released.
In 2013, Nasheed lost the presidential election to current President Yameen Abdul Gayyoom, a half-brother of the Indian Ocean archipelago nation's 30-year autocratic ruler, Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom.
The arrest came weeks after a key ally of Yameen Abdul Gayyoom, whose supporter helped him win the presidency, defected from the ruling coalition to align with Nasheed's Maldivian Democratic Party to launch a series of protests to force Gayyoom to resign.
Government minister Mohamed Shareef said Nasheed was arrested because the court felt he may not honor a summons to stand trial.
Shareef said the anti-terrorism laws cover not only act or planned acts of violence, but a wide range of "acts agains the state".
Nasheed is accused of using the military to arrest the senior judge when it had no authority to do so, Shareed said.
He is also accused of detaining Mohamed for weeks without trial or legal counsel and ignoring a Supreme Court order to release him, he said.
