Azim stated that calling for the death of any individual is unacceptable, regardless of any underlying political or personal animosity. He further emphasized that such threats must be treated as a serious matter and thoroughly investigated.
Former Thimarafushi MP Mohamed Musthafa has directed a series of profane insults at former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih in a post on X (formerly Twitter). In his post, Musthafa called for the former president to be executed by hanging. He further remarked that it was a stroke of luck for Solih that someone like Musthafa was not currently in power.
Members of the public and political figures are calling for a thorough investigation into the matter and for serious measures to be taken in response.
