Save a Nigerian Child Sentenced to 10 Years Imprisonment for Blasphemy
Why this petition matters
Atheist Alliance International is calling on everyone around the world to sign this important petition to save 13-year-old Umar Farouk from a 10-year prison sentence for blasphemy.
Umar has been sentenced in Kano, Northern Nigeria, after he allegedly "insulted Allah" in a heated argument with a friend. Umar was just 12 years old when he allegedly made the remark, but the judicial official of Kano’s Islamic Shariah Court, Ibrahim, sentenced the young boy in early August this year.
If you believe in human right,and children's rights, and you want to help this innocent child by raising awareness, please sign and share this petition!
No person deserves to go to prison for blasphemy, especially a child!
PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE!
