The family and friends of slain liberal blogger Yameen Rasheed marked 100 days since the murder with a tweetstorm and a silent vigil outside his home in Malé.
Friends, colleagues and members of civil society groups joined Yameen’s mother and sisters for the vigil Tuesday afternoon, lining up outside the Spatula house in the Maafanu ward of the capital with placards and posters and writing messages of sympathy and remembrance.
Earlier in the day, a tweetstorm was dedicated to Yameen, a prolific and popular social media user.
The 29-year-old human rights defender, satirist and IT professional was found with 35 stab wounds in the stairwell of his apartment building in the early hours of April 23.
