A foreigner who had visited Thaa atoll Kinbidhoo was arrested on Friday on charges of trying to spread Christianity.
A resident of the island said that the man named David was from the UK and that Police had arrested him after entering the house where was staying. Some books on Christianity were also confiscated from his room during the arrest, the resident said. He further said that the man, who could speak fluently in Dhivehi, was a very friendly man who got along very well with the residents of the island and was held in high regard.
He also said that most of the residents weren’t sure exactly what he was doing in the island.
“He would give different answers to different people when asked,” the resident said. “Sometimes he would say that he was doing export business in Maldives. Other times he would say he was from the Red Cross. He has introduced CDs containing information about Christianity to some of the residents of the island.”
