Disappointment in paradise
I just come across this interesting letter written from the outsider’s point of view.
An Outsider’s View
Dear people of the Maldives,
My name is Jonas. I am a German citizen and have been a guest in your country for the last three weeks. I came following the invitation of a friend, who is a human rights activist here.
In the past few days I have spent time talking to all kinds of people about the current political situation as well as their perception of the way human rights are treated in this country. These conversations have opened my eyes and helped draw a picture of the Maldives that heavily diverges from the holiday paradise that travel catalogues in Europe promise.
Last night I again followed an invitation. I joined the MDP commemoration at the artificial beach and watched the theatre performance that was devoted to the incidents three years ago. I must confess I did not understand a single word of what has been said there. But listening to the voice of Evan Naseem’s brother and mother, and later on watching the play, deeply moved me.
