Maldivian reggae artist sentenced to 10 years for 1 gram of cannabis

Maldivian reggae artist sentenced to 10 years for 1 gram of cannabis
September 26, 2010 - Cannazine

Famous Maldivian reggae artist Haisham Mohamed Rasheed has been sentenced to ten years for use and possession of less than one gram of cannabis.

Haisham, of Maafannu Loha, was arrested with a bag containing the illegal narcotics while in a resort to perform a live music show.

The Criminal Court convicted Haisham under Article 4 [a][1] of the Drug Act after he tested positive for cannabis, an illegal substance under the Act. Haisham received five years for using the drug and five years for possession.

The judge ruled that according to witness statements, evidence, and Haisham’s own confession, he owned the bag containing illegal narcotics with which he was found.

Haisham was the lead artist of the band ‘Palm Fever’. He also produced his own music and had acquired a popular following during a career which he started as a child performer at the Inter-school singing competition.

Haisham respectfully requests anyone who likes to smoke a joint and is perhaps considering a holiday to his beloved home 'The Maldives' to please boycott the islands until his government see sense and release him.

I don't expect too much from a country where Non-Muslims cannot be citizens.

The sad thing is this poor guy is getting 1 year per 100 miligrams of weed. Sri Lanka is quite close to the Maldives, and have been using marijuana medically for millenia. The Maldives are on the list of countries that won't be legalizing marijuana anytime soon.

it's a shame too, since it is such a beautiful country.

Stay good brother. That's insane...

As for the article... Countries with muslim law are so fucked up. I'd imagine their jails are complete hell too. US jail is hell, but countries like those if you live through your sentence your a tough son of a bitch.

Yeah, but laws like these make me think that we should just melt the polar caps a little more.
