A man in the Indian Ocean island state of the Maldives has died, apparently by suicide, after complaining of being victimised for not being a Muslim.

Ismail Mohamed Didi, 25, had admitted being an atheist and had sought political asylum abroad.

He was found on Tuesday hanging at his workplace - the air traffic control tower at the international airport in the capital, Male.

It is compulsory for citizens of the Maldives to be Sunni Muslims.

What a bummer. Those of us that can be atheists need to make the most of it in their honor.

Very sad

Rotten imposers of dogma and hate.

A YOUNG Muslim, who had been investigated by his employers at Male International Airport in the Maldives for apostasy, was found hanged from the airport’s control tower yesterday.

If he was an atheist he shouldn't be described as a young Muslim.

How terrible!

Still- he saved the feckers the effort of killing him for apostasy! Bastards!

You know... I wonder if it was suicide.
