I take no position on the guilt or innocence of the two sorcery suspects, although one of them is a woman and therefore perhaps the more likely to be in touch with the forces of the netherworld.
We outsiders must let the Maldivian justice system run its course, while we respect the cultural differences involved here. Should the two suspects be adjudicated and found guilty, then let justice be done. If the Maldives is anything like Saudi Arabia when it comes to witchcraft trials, the guilty parties will not get the chance to clog up the courts with endless frivolous appeals.
As a minor functionary of [the foreign affairs department of the Washington DC area's largest employer], my main concern with the Maldives - my only concern, really - is how to get a U.S. diplomatic presence set up there as quickly as possible in compliance with the wishes of Congress.
Frankly, if sorcery can offer any help with that goal, I am willing to suspend my disbelief and give witchcraft a try.

I hate to judge witches before all the facts are in, but I agree. The defense will have a heavy lift in this case.
Maldives??? It's almost too easy.
What struck me was there's virtually no partisan activity in Russian occupied territory.
The Russkies practically invented partisan warfare, so it makes sense they would also be the best at anti-partisan warfare.
