The Maldivian Democracy Network has released a Dhivehi translation of curated blogposts from abducted Maldives Independent journalist Ahmed Rilwan.
According to the human rights NGO, the aim of the book is to combat misconceptions about Rilwan and to make his work accessible to his mother. Titled ‘What Rilwan Spoke About,’ the articles cover various topics including literature, history, politics, culture and commentary of current affairs.
The book was launched to coincide with the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances. Friends and family members read selections at a private launching event on Friday.
The book is available for MVR200 (US$13) from MDN and Meraki Coffee Rosters in Malé. All proceeds from its sale will go towards reprinting and funding activities for the #FindMoyameehaa campaign, MDN said.
