The anonymous political commentary account @HKurusee has been officially suspended from X (formerly Twitter) following a request by the Maldives Police Service. The platform cited violations related to promoting or supporting extremist entities, a claim that the account’s backup strongly denies.
Kurusee, widely followed for exposing alleged government corruption and misconduct, responded through a secondary account, calling the suspension a politically motivated attack and accusing authorities of using fake documents to silence dissent.
The move has triggered massive backlash across social media. A nationwide campaign under the hashtag #BringBackHKurusee has erupted, with hundreds of users defending the account’s role in promoting transparency and holding power accountable.
Supporters argue that silencing an anonymous whistleblower sets a dangerous precedent and undermines free expression in the Maldives. Many are urging platform officials and global leaders to uphold digital rights and reverse the suspension.
The campaign continues to gain momentum, transforming Kurusee’s suspension into a powerful symbol of the fight for free speech and truth in the digital age.
