Oh and BTW, this is the same country that still technically outlaws “witchcraft”, whatever the hell that means, and until a few years ago, had a law criminalising (with a jail sentence) the act of “making, printing, distributing, or publishing crime comics” which is any media that “depicts the commission of a crime, real or fictional”. Not advocating the commission of a crime BTW (which is also illegal but at least that makes sense), DEPICTING IT in any way.
It’s also the same country that wanted to disregard their own dual criminality clause to extradite the Huawei CTO to the US for political brownie points.
The witchcraft law, from my reading, is an anti-fraud law. It outlaws “pretending to practice witchcraft”, as in swindling believers out of their money.

Can’t make this shit up.

So if you can do real witchcraft, it’s legal?
I suppose it would be.
