The police have refused to accept more than 800 letters submitted by the family of murdered blogger Yameen Rasheed calling for a credible and independent investigation with foreign experts.
Yameen’s father Hussain Rasheed, 54, told the press Tuesday afternoon that the police informed him that each letter must be submitted by the individual who signed it. He was also told that the police need to know a return address.
“I told them that these are about 811 letters from Yameen’s family, relatives, close people and people who are sympathetic to the cause,” he told reporters.
“I told them that they did not have to send responses to everyone, that they can respond to me and that’s it.”
