After serving one year in gaol, Wilhelmina Holle, 49, regained her freedom on 10 December 2009. “When I was going out, all I did was cry and thank God for my release,” she said. Holle, a Christian elementary school teacher, was falsely accused of defaming Islam while giving private lessons to her students on 10 November 2008.
With help from a local church, she was given a teaching position in a Christian school in Ambon. Reflecting on her days in prison, Ibu Holle realised that she grew in her love for the Lord. “I started to join many church activities when I was in Masohi Prison. Now, I serve Him more in a local church,” said the schoolteacher, who went through a season of despair during her first few months in detention.
