Youth Activists Charged Over ‘Justice for Yumnu’ Protest

Two youth protest leaders, Abdulla Mahzoom Majid and Aishath Shiman, have been formally charged over a May demonstration demanding justice for Hawwa Yumnu Rasheed, 21, who was seriously injured after falling from the ninth floor of a residential building in Malé. Court documents give Mahzoom a basic sentence of one year, seven months and six days and Shiman four months and 24 days, while the charges have drawn criticism from legal experts and youth activists.
