Not familiar with the local law, but it's most likely some BS law that's there due to some BS religious reasoning.

If that's the case, campaign (hard but peaceful/non-violent) to introduce laws compatible with intelligent human life and expunge the records of/pardon those imprisoned due to laws reminicent of the dark ages.

Being (one of hundreds of people) massacred by terrorists is not a fate anyone deserves.

It’s weird how you never hear such words in the defense of the thousands of nazi collaborators executed in Europe after WW2.

I don’t think police arresting people for religious reasons should he viewed any differently.

If you don't think the nazi comparison is apt you should look into Sri Lankan history, a decade ago the government was running literal concentration camps.
