President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has created inquiry commissions to probe unresolved murders and recover stolen public funds.
Along with releasing political prisoners, launching efforts on the first day in office to recover stolen money and find the truth behind murders and disappearances were pledges made by the joint opposition candidate.
In particular, he pledged to seek justice for the murders of lawmaker Dr Afrasheem Ali and liberal blogger Yameen Rasheed as well as the abduction of Maldives Independent journalist Ahmed Rilwan.
Both commissions were instituted by presidential decree hours after Solih took the oath of office Saturday.
