Indonesian Man Faces Five Years For Atheist Facebook Post

Posted by samzenpus on from the unlike-this dept.

An anonymous reader writes "31-year-old Alexander Aan faces a maximum prison sentence of five years for posting 'God does not exist' on Facebook. The civil servant was attacked and beaten by an angry mob of dozens who entered his government office at the Dharmasraya Development Planning Board on Wednesday. The Indonesian man was taken into protective police custody Friday since he was afraid of further physical assault."

    I'm not Christian, and believe that abortion should be outlawed.

    Funny how neat packaging of issues isn't usually true.
