The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On February 1st, nearly two years after his arrest in April 2020, Mubarak Bala appeared for the first time at the High Court of the state of Kano, Nigeria. Mubarak, the president of the Humanist Association of Nigeria, was arrested for comparing the Prophet Muhammad to a terrorist on a Facebook post. Bala was illegally denied access to a lawyer for more than five months after his arrest. Fifteen months into his prison time, Bala was charged with causing a public disturbance under Sections 210 and 114 of the Penal Code of the state of Kano. Bala was not present at the court when his charges were first read. Bala’s arrest and lack of due process has been condemned by numerous international organizations, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Humanists International insisted that “all charges laid against Bala should be dropped immediately and unconditionally.” Wole Soyinka, a Nobel-Prize Laureate from Nigeria, called Bala’s arrest a sign that a “plague of religious extremism has encroached” upon Nigeria.
