Indonesian Atheist Jailed for Prophet Mohammed Cartoons
June 14, 2012

An Indonesian man arrested after writing “God doesn’t exist” on his Facebook 
page was jailed for 30 months Thursday for sharing explicit material about the 
Prophet Mohammed online.

Alexander Aan, 30, was found guilty of “deliberately spreading information 
inciting religious hatred and animosity,” presiding judge Eka Prasetya Budi 
Dharma told the Muaro Sijunjung district court in western Sumatra.

Aan started an atheist group on Facebook on which he shared comic strips of the 
prophet having sex with his servant, Dharma said.

He also uploaded three articles on his account, including one describing the 
prophet being attracted to his daughter-in-law.

“Under the Electronic Information and Transactions law, we sentence him to 
prison for a length of two years and six months,” Dharma said.

“What he did has caused anxiety to the community and tarnished Islam.”

Aan was beaten by an angry mob and arrested by police in his hometown of Pulau 
Punjung in western Sumatra in January after posting the material online and 
declaring himself an atheist.

The court had earlier indicted Aan with two other charges — persuading others 
to embrace atheism and blasphemy — and prosecutors had sought a 
three-and-a-half-year jail term for him.

But the court convicted him of the most serious charge and dropped the other 
two.

Aan’s arrest sparked outrage among Indonesians and international activists, who 
showed their support on his Facebook group and circulated petitions to have his 
charges dropped.

Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, guarantees freedom of 
religion in its constitution and the International Covenant on Civil and 
Political Rights, but only recognizes six faiths: Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, 
Catholicism, Protestantism and Confucianism.

Its courts have in recent years given light sentences to perpetrators of 
violent attacks on Christians and Islamic minority Ahmadis, some of which have 
been fatal.
