A Nigerian Sharia court has sentenced a 13-year-old boy to 10 years in jail for blasphemy. "He was having an arguing with a friend and uttered some blasphemy," reports Africa correspondent JJ Cornish. He added “This happened in Kano, one of the 13 Nigerian states with Sharia law that allows for death, amputation, flogging…” The United Nations has condemned the sentence, saying it breaks multiple conventions on the rights of children, including the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, which Nigeria ratified almost 20 years ago.

thank you very much for YOUR post,have a nice weekend
This is so wrong, at so many levels. I admire the children of that particular area. How come they do not commit blasphemy more often. So many vital things they should worry about. I wonder what their God has given them for such fidelity
Hola @atheistrepublic, si esto pasara en todo el mundo algunos países tendrían que convertirlos en cárceles.
Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven
