Letter on freedom and the Maldives

Dear Maldives,
I would like to share my story with you guys, to reflect on the prospect of freedom in the Malsdives.
In July 2001, as a student of Humanities at Curtin University in Western Australia, I met, fell in love with and married a Maldivian woman, an ‘overseas student’ from my Political Sciences class.
Due to certain painful complications, although pregnant with my first ever child, the Australian government was threatening to send my wife back to the Maldives.
