Maldives twitter last week #6
Here are some interesting things Maldivians talked about on twitter last week.
1. People celebrated Yameen Rasheed's Birthday
Tomorrow is @yaamyn's birthday. 🎈💔
— Hamid Shafeeu (@shafeeu) April 9, 2018
Are we doing enough to get #JusticeForYaamyn? Are we doing enough to help #FindMoyameehaa, his dedication, why they had to kill him?
Society failed him. We failed him.
Happy birthday loabikins 💔 pic.twitter.com/JoWRdfnT6P

Taken away from us too soon, but you are always here in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. Happy birthday, @yaamyn. You would have been 30 today.
— Nashwa Saeed (@nutwa) April 10, 2018
I didn't know @yaamyn personally. Read a few of his thoughts and these are what I feel about him:
— Ⓜ Shafiu (@MoosaShafiu) April 10, 2018
1. A mind much mature than many men.
2. Taken away too early, but lives in the hearts of many.
3. A life, though short, reverberating love and passion.
If only you were around to tweet about all theses environmental misdoings!! @yaamyn you are missed! Happy birthday friend. 🎈
— Maeed Zahir (@maeed) April 10, 2018
It’s @yaamyn’s 30th birthday.
— Ekedamic Ali 🎈❓ (@shaari) April 10, 2018
A life not long but mattered to many.
A life that stirred minds, touched hearts, brought smiles and laughs.
A life to be celebrated.
A life dignified. 🎈 pic.twitter.com/zaAdcbyLRF

Still remember that smile @yaamyn had when he was showing off this book, he got as a birthday present. That was the last day I met him and it was a few days ago before his death.

On what would have been his 30th birthday, Yameen Rasheed is not forgotten. He was murdered last year in the Maldives: https://t.co/jzxmrKJ8eX We highlighted his case to the UN + called for greater protection of activists: https://t.co/jm2taRWpGz We will not forget. #WeAreYaamyn pic.twitter.com/7eCi4F6jaB

Yesterday was Yameen Rasheed's birthday. He would have turned 30.
— Jade Dussart (@JadeDussart) April 11, 2018
Yameen was a brave human rights defender & blogger from #Maldives, and a beloved friend to many, both off and online.
He was killed on 23 April 2017 for his words.
We won't forget him.#WeAreYaamyn

Its @yaamyn's bday. His bday gift this year is towards helping feed a hungry child in his name.

He would be murdered 13 days later. 🎈#JusticeForYaamyn #Maldives https://t.co/Fpq2R7mVFo

4. Moyameeha's killers still walk free
DNA evidence presented in Rilwan's case serves to corroborate other circumstantial evidences, such as a witness seeing a person forcibly taken in to a red car outside Rilwan's apartment. It is a mockery of public safety & justice to allow suspects to roam free. #FindMoyameehaa

#Keylakunu may be the only coral island in the world harbouring a healthy Avicennia forest. Intl experts described the island as “like no other”. This island is of global significance. Preserve, don’t destroy! #SaveKeylakunu pic.twitter.com/qgn5OFE7a9

Had it been anyone else, @yaamyn would be moving heaven and earth fighting for truth and justice - just like he did for Rilwan.
Injustice should not prevail. We owe this to him. #JusticeForYaamyn #Maldives pic.twitter.com/yIHVoL8Num

I’m seeing so many talented Maldivian graphic designers during #36DaysOfThaana! All of these people found a way through an education system and a society that didn’t and doesn’t support them adequately to get here. Can’t help but wonder how many talents we lost along the way.

It is insulting & irresponsible of @MoH_mv to serve #ArecaNuts, an @IARCWHO classified GroupA #carcinogen at #WHD function.

Fenfushi resident said they are not permitted to go to Hukurudhoo island anymore. They used to go there to collect coconuts & coconut leaves to make thatching to earn an income, & picnics with their families. Not possible anymore ☹️#Laamarukazeeraajje #Decentralisation pic.twitter.com/fuK16ddkom

This will be the last one for a while. On top of a lot of other things, I need to work more on finishing Sinking Streets. The more I write about Male' the more it feels like I am drawing out some poison. I do not want to feel like this forever. At the same time it is not easy saying goodbye. You can read the first chapter here.
