Alleged possible blasphemy charges against a law lecturer in Aceh.
According to the information received, Mr. Mirza Alfath has been voicing
criticisms concerning the implementation of the Sharia Law on his Facebook
page. On 3 July 2012, Mr. Alfath reportedly wrote on the Facebook page his
opinions on Sharia Law that had caused Mr. Teuku Zulkhairi, a Muslim
activist, to react by writing a letter to Serambi, the largest daily newspaper in
Aceh, on 20 November 2012 complaining that Mr. Alfath had allegedly
insulted Islam. Subsequently, an angry mob reportedly went to Mr. Alfath‘s
house in the evening of 20 November 2012, throwing stones and planning to
attack him. The police came allegedly to secure Mr. Alfath but he was taken
into police custody where he remains to the present day.
