NIGERIA-POLITICS-RELIGION-COURTS-RIGHTS
Amina Ahmed, wife of Mubarak Bala, an outspoken atheist who was charged with blasphemy, displays her husband's photo at their home in Abuja, Nigeria, on March 11, 2021. - Shortly after Amina Ahmed married Mubarak Bala, a self-proclaimed atheist she met online, in a small intimate ceremony, he was detained by police on Aprilc 28, 2020, and taken to an unknown destination.
Since that day, Bala has been held without charges.
Advocates for his release say he is accused of writing a Facebook post criticising the prophet of Islam, an act of blasphemy that can carry a death sentence in Nigeria's conservative Muslim north where sharia law is enforced alongside common law.
