It's bad enough that the world didn't end on May 21 for followers of Christian fringe group leader Harold Camping, but things got worse for a Malawian disciple who pleaded guilty for distributing false leaflets about the end of the world.

Saduki Mwambene, a 39-year-old bicycle repairman, got six month suspended sentence for distributing pamphlets about Camping's doomsday predictions, Agence France Presse reported on June 12.

"Police opened a case for him for circulating false documents that threatened the peace and security of citizens," an official with the magistrate's court in Chitipa district told the AFP.

A judge released Mwamben on bail, but ordered him to come back for a hearing after May 21 to prove that he'd given out wrong apocalyptic information.

Camping, who suffered a stroke over the weekend, became a short-lived media sensation in the run-up to May 21 -- the day he said would be the Rapture.

HIs followers plastered the cities in the U.S. and around the world with billboards proclaiming that humanity's time on Earth was short.

 :lol: I do love the Judge's sense of humour in only charging the guy after he said the world would already be over. :p

Depends on the content, no?

I can easily think of several topics that would get you arrested in the US.

I can think of a time where handing communist flyers would get you in lots of trouble in the US :P

Well,t hese flyers can be pretty... disruptive. Still, its nowhere near shouting 'HES GOT A BOMB!' whenever a somewhat suspicious looking IE drunk figure appears in a public crowd, causing the crowd to panic and flee, thus endangering other people with trampling etc (this happened during the WW2 ceremonial in Holland last year <<). Still, it's similar.
