Persecuted Nigerian Atheist Prisoner "Adopted" By US Congressman!
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 03/06/2023

In a significant development, US Congressman Jamie Raskin has taken up the case of Nigerian atheist Mubarak Bala, Bala, who has been sentenced to 24 years for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad. Congressman Raskin, through the Lantos Commission's Defending Freedoms Project, aims to bring attention to Bala's unjust imprisonment and advocate for his release. Bala's case highlights the dangers of theocracy and the suppression of freedom of expression and thought. Congressman Raskin emphasized the urgent need to defend these fundamental human rights globally and called on Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to issue a pardon for Bala. The Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, alongside other organizations such as Freedom Now and the European Parliament, has also rallied behind Bala's cause, demanding accountability and urging the repeal of blasphemy laws. Mubarak Bala, the former President of the Humanist Association of Nigeria, continues to appeal his conviction while human rights organizations work tirelessly to secure his freedom. Bala’s sponsorship by prominent politicians and institutions worldwide underscores the urgent need for the protection of free expression and freedom of belief for atheists.
