The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
On September 10th, 2019, Mohamed Rushtum Mujuthaba, a leading atheist and human rights activist from the Maldives, was accused of producing blasphemous content against Islam on social media. Rushtum fears imprisonment on blasphemy charges at an upcoming court hearing on June 23rd. Rushtum is known for pointing out religious texts' irrational and dangerous aspects. In confinement, he was beaten, not provided with proper food and clothing, and told that the blasphemers were the greatest sinners. Mujuthaba was detained for more than six months without trial by the Maldivian authorities, in excess of his stipulated sentence, a clear violation of the international human rights law. The Maldivian Police performed psychological tests on Mujuthaba at various clinics to ascertain if he was mentally ill for his atheist and secularist views. He was also abused for not fasting during the month of Ramadan. He was even moved to a maximum-security unit in the death row section at one point. Amnesty International has urged the Maldivian authorities to release Rushtum and stated that "the actions against Mohamed Rusthum Mujuthaba contravenes international human rights law including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights."
