My sympathies are with the Meedhuffushi One

It is time we started a campaign to free the Meedhuffushi One, a victim of government persecution. Hussein Didi was arrested and faces prosecution for the crime of having officiated at a hotel ‘wedding’ ceremony on the tiny island of Meedhuffushi in the Maldives. You may have read about his unorthodox benediction to the Swiss couple who paid £830 to have their right to fornicate endorsed fraudulently while they sipped cocktails out of a coconut shell in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Or you may have watched the video online.

Either way, it is worth reacquainting ourselves with some of the details, especially those not reported in the press. Holding the hands of the Swiss pair, Didi told them in his native language of Dhivehi — which of course they did not understand — that they were pork-eating infidel swine whose children would therefore be bastard swine and furthermore marked with ugly spots and blemishes.
