8:25Now PlayingMaldivian atheist Rusthum Russo was first arrested on September 10th, 2019 and is still in police custody. Sources informed Laadheenee.com that Rusthum was arrested after he asked the Maldives Police Service for protection from the religious extremists on his island who were giving him death threats. He was subsequently released for a few days in March 2020 but was arrested again due to continued complaints about him. The prominent cases against him are for “trying to disrupt religious unity” and “blasphemy.” Authorities subjected him to mental evaluations due to his apostasy. Other news sources in the Maldives report that Rusthum was first arrested for organizing a gathering against religion in Thinadhoo where he was speaking to youth and criticizing religion, and for publicly opposing religion on Twitter. Maldivian apostates and “blasphemers” like Rusthum are particularly vulnerable as they live on small islands where there is literally nowhere to run.
