BBC Blasphemy trial of Nigerian atheist begins in Kano 5 Apr 2022

「A Nigerian atheist accused of blasphemy against Islam has appeared at a high court in the northern Nigerian state of Kano.

A group of Muslims had filed a petition to the authorities against Mubarak Bala after he allegedly posted uncomplimentary messages against Islam on social media.」

　保釈金を払うから、ちょっとさあ、という申し出は、safetyの理由で却下とのこと。…絶対処罰するマンの仕業かと疑うのも一法だが、どうだろう、現実に危ない気もかなりする。

「The court has rejected his bail application because of what the judge called his "safety". The trial is expected to continue on Tuesday.」

「But Mr Bala’s trail is taking place in a secular court. He could have faced the death penalty if tried in Sharia court.」

「Mubarak Bala renounced Islam in 2014. After his decision, he was then deemed mentally ill in the predominantly Muslim region and reportedly taken to a psychiatric hospital before being released.」

　Kanoは、世俗法の他にもシャリーアが通用するのだそうだ。この人物は世俗法で裁かれるが、シャリーアだと死刑があるしなあ…と言う事情だとか。
