The Committee to Protect Journalists joined 11 partner organizations on Tuesday in calling on the Maldives’ Presidential Commission on Deaths and Disappearances (DDCom), newly elected President Mohamed Muizzu, and the country’s Human Rights Commission to ensure that the findings of DDCom’s investigations are revealed to the victims’ families and made public before its expected dissolution on May 31.

DDCom, formed by former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih in 2018 to probe unsolved murders, disappearances, and abductions under the previous government, has not released its full investigative reports on the 2014 disappearance and murder of journalist Ahmed Rilwan Abdulla and the 2017 murder of blogger Yameen Rasheed. Impunity persists in both cases.
