A person can be prosecuted for anything which is illegal in
Mauritius. The person may have to hire a lawyer if he/she believes
that the information posted in his/her profile is not an issue.

It is better to have a discussion about the amendments being
proposed. I don't think that people are interested in discussing
about how the amendments will affect them.
