<p>Hollywood star George Clooney is relieved his wife Amal is no longer in the Maldives preparing a case to free the nation's imprisoned former President Mohamed Nasheed after her co-counsel was stabbed in the head.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The 54-year-old movie star opened up about his fears for his wife of almost a year during an appearance on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert", reported People magazine.<br />"It's a dangerous place to be right now. I'm very concerned with her being there, quite honestly," he said.<br /><br />But at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada at the weekend, Clooney said, "She's out of The Maldives and into Sri Lanka now, so she's much better."<br /><br />And the actor said the worst thing about being married to a woman who puts herself in harm's way to protect others is she won't let him travel with her, adding, "She's a grown woman with her own career, but it's tough when they're stabbing her co-counsel in the head a couple of days before she gets there.<br /><br />"But she's doing the right thing and she's doing it for the right reasons." Amal is defending Nasheed, who was given a 13-year prison sentence for alleged terrorism. Amal has called the sentence a "mockery of justice".</p>
