Information reaching this paper has it that the two alleged Spanish homosexuals, who were arrested by the police last Friday, were released yesterday.

Pere Joan, 56, and Juan Monpserratrusau, 54, who were held at the Kotu police station, allegedly approached two taxi drivers and made amorous proposals to them. The drivers were reportedly swift in alerting the police without causing any unnecessary suspicion to the two culprits who were lured to a rendezvous in Manjai where they were subsequently arrested.

The President is on record to have declared that stricter legislation than those in Iran are in the offing. However such legislation has not yet been passed and it is believed that the release of the two was therefore a foregone conclusion.
