9:23Now PlayingA 13-year-old Nigerian sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for blasphemy is finally free as he wins his appeal in Kano state. In August 2020, Omar Farouq was convicted in a Sharia court in Kano State of northwestern Nigeria, after being accused of using foul language about Allah while arguing with a friend. Though only 13 years old, Farouq was tried as an adult because he has attained puberty and has full responsibility under Islamic law. The Sharia court's ruling last year sparked international Condemnation. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) condemned the boy's 10-year prison sentence. He was released after five months of incarceration with no access to family or lawyers. The 13-year-old teenager's parents disassociated themselves from him because of the shame caused by the case, according to the boy’s lawyer, Mr. Alapinni. Alapinni said Farouq’s mother fled to another nearby town after his arrest because the mobs descended on their home. “Everyone here is scared to speak and living under fear of reprisal attacks,” he added.
