Husnu Al Suood (Dhivehi: ޙުސްނުއްސުޢޫދު) born in Meedhoo is a Justice of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Maldives since 8 December 2019.

[4] In June 2013, Suood represented Chief Judge of the High Court Ahmed Shareef in challenging the decision of the Judicial Services Commission to suspend him.

[7][8] In April 2015, Suood was appointed by former Defence Minister Colonel (Rtd) Mohamed Nazim to appeal his conviction for illegal possession of fire arms by the Criminal Court of Maldives.

[9] In May 2015, Suood began defending terrorism charges filed by the Government of Maldives against President of Adhaalath Party (AP) Sheikh Imran Abdulla, and Chairman of MDP.

[11] In October 2015, Suood began defending Hamid Ismail, who was arrested following the dismissal and detention of Vice President Ahmed Adeeb.

[12] In February 2016, Suood began defending terrorism charges filed by the government against former Chief Prosecutor of Maldives Muhthaz Muhsin.

Following the fierce and aggressive litigation Suood was disbarred from legal practice by Maldives Supreme Court on 31 October 2016 on contempt charges.

[14] In April 2017, Suood filed a case against the Maldives Police Service for its failure to protect famous writer and blogger, Yameen Rasheed, who was brutally murdered after having received several death threats over a period of five years.

After more than 25 years of absolute dictatorship and iron fist rule, Gayoom was forced to announce a reform package in 2004, as a result of growing opposition locally coupled with international pressure.

[18] In February 2001, Mohamed Nasheed, Hussain Rasheed Hassan and Husnu Al Suood took the initiative to register a political party in the Maldives.

[19] As the registration papers submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs had to be compiled clandestinely, Suood had to name the party and write down its principles and ideology on his own and without any consultation.

[20] On 13 August 2004, while Suood was a member of the National Human Rights Commission, he was arrested and held in solitary confinement in the notorious Dhoonidhoo prison for 81 days, without access to a lawyer.

[23] In a public statement released by the Maldives Bar Association in July 2013, MBA insisted that Supreme Court Judge Ali Hameed who was under investigation for his alleged involvement of a sex tape must be suspended whilst the probe was ongoing.

The case was investigated by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), but no action was taken against the scandal-hit judge and continued to sit on the supreme court bench.
