The brutal murders of Afrasheem Ali and Yameen Rasheed, the mysterious disappearance of Ahmed Rilwan and countless other such cases warrant thorough investigations. I am, in my personal capacity, willing to provide assistance in such matters should it deem necessary.
Jailed former vice president Ahmed Adeeb recently called on the government to re-open the trials and open the hearings to the public. He also said President Abdulla Yameen’s government has failed to investigate the murders and disappearance of Rilwan.
Ugail is a Professor of Visual Computing at the University of Bradford and is the first Maldivian to obtain a PhD in Mathematics.
