HAF-MRD-2 | Site of Dhorumathige (Court House)

This is the house of Hussain Umbusheymu. He was an Imam and the chief of the island. It is also the house where my parents and brothers lived. Therefore, I know a lot about the history of the house. The building had also previously served as a courthouse. Every night, after the evening prayer (isha), cases were raised by members of the community and resolved by the Umbusheymu.
