Dr Farahanaz Faizal yesterday accepted an honorary fellowship on behalf of former President Mohamed Nasheed at Liverpool John Moores University in the United Kingdom.
The citation was read by Professor Lord Alton and the Vice Chancellor, Professor Nigel Weatherill presented the fellowship.
Nasheed attended the university between 1984 and 1989 and was recognised for “spear-heading the democracy movement in his country.”
Dr Faizal reported, via her Twitter account, that Dr Shaheed accompanied her in addressing the crowded room, being asked many questions on alleged human rights allegations.
