Near miss.
It is all about the Islamic Law and their concept of "honour", "shame" 
and "defamation".
Remember that Islam condone and approve when muslim lie to other muslims 
or kafir for many matters (husband to wife, to reconcile people, when 
one feel threatened). Then there is the rule about killing "who that 
cause tumult / sedition". Truth can be a cause of tumult and sedition.

It would be illegal to report it if they feel displeased someone else 
know about it, albeith they feel doing the right thing; it would be 
illegal if it cause criticism about them or Islam.
In short, it would be illegal to write and say anything that displease 
them, whatever it is. And you would it after.
