Presidential commission on murders and enforced disappearances has found out the “terrorist group” responsible for the abduction of journalist Ahmed Rilwan.

While Thursday marks five years since his abduction at knife point in front of his house in Hulhumalé, commission President Husnu Suood revealed this via Twitter.

Noting that Rilwan’s closed ones are “entitled to know what happened to him,” Suood said that the commission has shared its latest findings with them.

Suood said that the commission “has found out the terrorist group responsible for his abduction.”

He added that they have also found out those who actively participated in the horrific act “with sufficient evidence to prosecute.”

Further noting that it is considering on releasing the details of this terrorist group “before the end of August,” Suood added that the commission is still “trying to verify and corroborate the information received”.

He added that the commission “will deliver on its promise to find the truth in all cases under investigation.”

In a statement released on Thursday to mark the fifth anniversary since Rilwan was taken away from them, his family and loved ones said that they will not stop their work “until justice is served.”

Rilwan was last seen purchasing a ticket to Hulhumalé at the ferry terminal in capital city Malé on August 8th, 2014.

Police confirmed Rilwan’s abduction two years later, in August 2016. It had revealed that one of the men caught trailing Rilwan on CCTV footage had been identified as Mohamed Suaid. He was arrested but released by the Criminal Court in November 2014.

Shortly after, he is to have left the Maldives for Syria with the brother of one of the suspects in the case, Aalif Rauf. Both are to have “died in battle.”

Aalif and Mohamed Nooradeen were charged in the case, but were acquitted last year citing “insufficient evidence.”

Delivering justice in Rilwan’s disappearance, and other such cases, is a high priority for the current administration, with President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih forming the Commission on Murders and Enforced Disappearances on his first day in office.
