Letter on sentenced paedophile

Dear Editor,
A man arrested and convicted of sexually exploiting Maldivian children and also forcibly destroying the minds of these children got only six years in prison?
What a joke. It’s as if he got caught smuggling some opium – that’s how light the sentence was. In six years (or even faster, if the parole system is anything to go by, if he gets out of prison alive), he’ll be back on the streets again – and the vaunted “justice” that was served for his victims will be just a memory.
Whatever that unnamed NGO who said such a weak sentence was a “promising future” is either wearing rose-tinted glasses, snorting cocaine or just foolish to realise that six years is not enough to help the exploited children to heal, or to keep a convicted race-killer penned in.
25 years and no parole is more fitting; it will give his victims the peace of mind to develop and heal – and will increase the chances of his summary execution in prison.
I have lost all faith in the judiciary system of Maldives. As the father of two children, I am willing go above and beyond the so-called law to protect them from criminals like Hussain Fazeel.
