On 17 May, President Nasheed will turn 48 while under arrest in the maximum security prison in Maafushi.

Nasheed was first arrested in 1990 for writing about politics. With over two decades in and out of jail, with over 2000 days spent in jail, this is not the first birthday he faces behind bars. Let’s hope this will be the last. ‪

We will celebrate his birthday in Male’ on 17th May. Come be part of it.
