We are writing to express our grave concern at the continuing prosecution of Yahaya Sharif-Aminu in Nigeria for allegations of blasphemy. We strongly urge Nigeria to immediately release Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, withdraw all charges against him, and ensure his safety.<\/p><p>In March 2020, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, a Sufi musician in Kano State, was arrested on charges of blasphemy for allegedly insulting the Prophet Muhammad in two WhatsApp audio messages and held without bail. Around the time of his arrest, a mob burned down his home, and no member of the mob has been prosecuted. During his trial, he was not afforded a lawyer. He was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging in August 2020 for violating Section 382(b) of the Kano State Sharia Penal Code Law.<\/p><p>While a court later overturned the conviction, he was ordered to a retrial, where he would face the same potential death penalty. Sharif-Aminu is now appealing to the Supreme Court of Nigeria to find Section 382(b) unconstitutional and in violation of international law, including the African Charter. He has now spent over three years in prison for his peaceful and brief remarks that merely expressed his religious beliefs.<\/p><p>Kano State\u2019s blasphemy law violates both the Nigerian Constitution and international law. The Nigerian Constitution protects the freedoms of thought, conscience, religion, and expression, and that includes the ability to peacefully share with others the tenets of one\u2019s beliefs, even if others may strongly disagree with them.<\/p><p>International law, including the African Charter and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, similarly protect freedom of expression and freedom of religion or belief. It also requires that the death penalty be reserved only for the most serious crimes in those States that have not abolished the death penalty. In no sense can the mere posting of peaceful audio messages expressing one\u2019s beliefs amount to a severe crime warranting death, or even any crime at all.<\/p><p>International observers have condemned the continuing prosecution of Yahaya Sharif-Aminu and called for his release. On April 20 of this year, the European Parliament overwhelmingly called on Nigeria to immediately release Sharif-Aminu and found that Nigeria\u2019s blasphemy laws \u201care in violation of its international human rights commitments, the African Charter and the Nigerian Constitution.\u201d Officials from the United Nations have similarly raised concerns over his prosecution and called for his release, as have officials from the United Kingdom and the United States.<\/p><p>Nigeria is also one of only seven countries in the world\u2014including Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Brunei, Mauritania, and Saudi Arabia\u2014with criminal blasphemy laws for which a person can be sentenced to death.<\/p><p>Yahaya Sharif-Aminu should never have been arrested and imprisoned in the first instance. Instead, he has had to suffer mob violence and spend years in prison for simply and peacefully sharing his beliefs with others.<\/p><p>A democracy cannot function when the most basic freedoms are not protected, and as the largest democracy in Africa, Nigeria\u2019s example matters. But now, Nigeria and Your Excellency have an opportunity to set a strong example that you will work to protect the rights of your citizens, not disregard them.<\/p><p>For all of these reasons, we reiterate our call that Nigeria immediately release Yahaya Sharif-Aminu. Sincerely,<\/p><blockquote><h1><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Organizations<\/span><\/strong><\/h1><\/blockquote><ul><li><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>21Wilberforce<\/li><li>Accountability Lab Nigeria<\/li><li>ADF International<\/li><li>Alliance of Inclusive Muslims<\/li><li>Anglican Persecuted Church Network<\/li><li>Avocats Sans Fronti\u00e8res France (Lawyers Without Borders France)<\/li><li>Boat People SOS<\/li><li>Buddhist Solidarity Association<\/li><li>Center for Pluralism<\/li><li>CHAT-PRAY-ACT<\/li><li>Christian Solidarity International<\/li><li>Church of Scientology National Affairs Office<\/li><li>Committee for Relevant Art (CORA)<\/li><li>Committee for Religious Freedom in Vietnam<\/li><li>Coptic Solidarity<\/li><li>Coordination des Associations et des Particuliers pour la Libert\u00e9 de Conscience<\/li><li>Culture Advocates Caucus<\/li><li>Elixir Trust Foundation<\/li><li>Ex-Muslims of North America<\/li><li>Freedom of Religion South Africa (FOR SA)<\/li><li>GAFCON Suffering Church Network<\/li><li>Genocide Watch<\/li><li>Global Christian Relief<\/li><li>Global Peace Foundation Nigeria<\/li><li>Human Rights Concern \u2013 Eritrea (HRCE)<\/li><li>Independent Journalists Association of Vietnam<\/li><li>International Christian Concern<\/li><li>International Committee on Nigeria<\/li><li>International Institute for Religious Freedom<\/li><li>International Senior Lawyers Project<\/li><li>Jubilee Campaign<\/li><li>Katartismos Global<\/li><li>Lantos Foundation for Human Rights &amp; Justice<\/li><li>Lead Africa International e.V (Germany)<\/li><li>Lumi\u00e8res Sans Fronti\u00e8res<\/li><li>Media Foundation for West Africa<\/li><li>Muslims for Progressive Values<\/li><li>Nigerian Centre of PEN International (PEN Nigeria)<\/li><li>NOPRIN Foundation (Network on Police Reform in Nigeria)<\/li><li>Religious Freedom Institute<\/li><li>Save the Persecuted Christians<\/li><li>Set My People Free<\/li><li>Shai Fund<\/li><li>Unchained Vibes Africa<\/li><li>Vietnamese Women for Human Rights<\/li><\/ul><blockquote><h3>\u00a0<strong style=\"color: #000000;\">Individuals<\/strong><\/h3><\/blockquote><p><b>Eedris Abdulkareem<\/b><br \/>Nigerian Rapper, Singer, Activist and Olympics Torchbearer<\/p><p><b>Jackie Abramian<\/b><br \/>Founder Global Cadence<\/p><p><b>Segun Adefila<\/b><br \/>Nigerian Actor and Culture Activist Artistic Director, Crown Troupe of Africa<\/p><p><b>Folu Agoi<\/b><br \/>President Nigerian Centre of PEN International (PEN Nigeria)<\/p><p><b>Toyin Akinosho<\/b><br \/>Nigerian Writer<br \/>Co-Founder, Committee for Relevant Art (CORA)<\/p><p><b>Sola Alamutu<\/b><br \/>Research &amp; Advocacy Manager Unchained Vibes Africa<\/p><p><b>David Alton, Baron Alton of Liverpool, KCSG, KCMCO<\/b><br \/>Member of the House of Lords (UK)<\/p><p><b>Jahman Anikulapo<\/b><br \/>Culture Curator and Program Chair Lagos Book &amp; Art Festival (LABAF)<\/p><p><b>Sam Uche Anyamele<\/b><br \/>Nigerian Actor, Producer and Event Anchor<\/p><p><b>Seyi Arowosebe, Esq. <\/b><br \/>Lawyer, Nigeria<\/p><p><b>Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c.
