Have you seen the #FreeMubarak hashtag on Twitter and wondered what it was about? According to
Godless Mom, a man by the name of
Mubarak Bala has been beaten, medicated, and hospitalized in Nigeria for being an atheist.
Evidently, his father decided that atheism is a mental illness and had Mubarak involuntarily hospitalized on the psychiatric unit of Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. Mubarak is reportedly in fear for his life, which is understandable given that he's an atheist in Nigeria. Godless Mom has provided
additional information here.
Godless Mom is asking for help in spreading the word about Mubarak and has
posted some ideas about how you can help here. In addition, a petition has been started on
Change.org.
