This incident will once again show the difference between a country that truly values human life & dignity and one that does not.
The Italian Gov spent resources to hire professional divers to retrieve the bodies of five of their citizens, transport them back to Italy, planning to conduct autopsies, and launch investigations into whether criminal negligence contributed to the tragedy.
Meanwhile, when @MNDF_Official CG diver Mahdhy died, he was buried within hours. To this day, the public does not even know whether he drowned, ran out of gas, or what exactly caused his death. It is unclear whether authorities seriously investigated the cause of death at all, let alone whether there was negligence by anyone involved.
A human life should never be treated as disposable, especially the life of someone who risked himself in service of the country.
Every life deserves answers.
Every death deserves accountability.
For the first time in the Maldives' democratic history journalists have been sentenced to jail.
They should be immediately and unconditionally released.
Our statement below:
Those who are taking about journalism ethics today, have they ever been kicked out from the President’s office for asking question? Or have they ever been banned for doing low standard journalism? Or did they face any criminal charges during Ibu’s tenure?

Rare glimpse of early tourism in the Maldives (1979) 🏝️
A simple thatched beach hut, surrounded by swaying coconut palms and endless turquoise views.
Inside: pure rustic charm with cozy beds, a small wooden clothes rack, two simple side tables, and a clothesline strung across. Open windows without doors let in the refreshing sea breeze and frame the stunning view. No luxury amenities, just authentic, no-frills paradise.
These photos were captured by Italian tourists aboard Dhandehelu, the very first liveaboard dive safari boat of Maldives, converted from an old traditional Adduan vedi/odi. They were originally shared on the Facebook page "Barbiere Viaggiatore".
Back then, it was all about genuine island life and real adventure.
