18:05Now PlayingMubarak Bala, president of the Humanist Association of Nigeria, was arrested at his residence in Kaduna state on April 28, 2020. He was taken to neighboring Kano state where religious figures had made calls for action against him. The United Nations has denounced Nigerian authorities for failing to release Mubarak by stating that his detention is a flagrant violation of fundamental human rights. He had posted comments critiquing Islam on social media that caused an outrage among the predominantly Muslim northern area of Nigeria. Mubarak was denied contact with his lawyer or family. Through his continued detainment, the government is sending a message to the radical groups that the silencing and threatening of human rights defenders and minority non-believers is acceptable. In December 2020, Nigeria's high court ordered his release on bail and damages of 250,000 Naira ($657). Yet officials have proceeded to detain him. Mubarak's lawyer stated that the police detained Bala on "a holding charge" often used in arbitrary detentions, where formal charges are not presented. Amina, Mubarak's wife, described the psychological toll on her and their one-year-old child as unbearable emotional trauma.
