Search for justice continues in Maldives

A new presidential commission investigates the 2014 abduction of Ahmed Rilwan Abdulla and the 2017 murder of Yameen Rasheed. A court in 2018 acquits two suspects accused of abducting Rilwan. The president of the commission says the investigation has enough new evidence to appeal the ruling. CPJ travels to Malé to speak with the bloggers' families about their pursuit of justice, and with authorities about the progress and challenges in the cases. (Photo: Dinuka Liyanawatte/Reuters)
