(Kano) 29-year-old Mubarak Bala, who lives in the northern Islamic half of Nigeria, came to the conclusion that he doesn't believe in god and therefore he is an atheist. An intelligent man, Mubarak owns a degree in chemical engineering. Anyway, in the non-Islamic world his stance wouldn't have garnered a second look. But unfortunately for Mubarak, he lives in the Islamic world, and so mortified were his family at this revelation, when he did not believe in God, they took him to a doctor and asked if he was mentally ill.
When this doctor found him to be fit and well, the family took him to a second doctor who claimed he was suffering with a personality disorder. They then had him committed to a mental institution (despite getting a clean bill of health) where he is being held against his will and forcibly medicated. So much for freedom of expression.
Got to love how the Islamic world forbids any freedom of expression other than that dictated (quite literally I hear) by a paedophilic warlord around 1,500 years ago.
