Gayyoom's Torture


Gayyoom has been committing inhuman and cruel acts of torture on Maldivian citizens since he became the president in the 70's. Below are some pictures of some well-known deaths. Many more are rumoured to have happened, but a tight lid is kept of actual figures.

 

Shiyam (AK)

The fingerprint ink marks on his thumb is proof that his untimely death occurred while in custody, soon after he was booked at the NSS. It is strongly believed Shiyam became another victim of the notorious NSS under the leadership of General Gayyoom.

 

Abdullah Ameen

Abdullah Ameen was shot in the head in September 2003 in the shooting of prison in mates by NSS personel.

 

Hassan Eevan Naseem

Eevan Naseem was beaten to death in September 2003 by more than 10 NSS personnel in the Maafushi prison in Maldives. His last words were "... the authorities have to be responsible if anything happens to me".
