As if the case of the Sudanese woman is'nt fresh in our memories.When earlier in this year 2014 she was sentenced to death for Apostasy,another person,a journalist from Mauritania,has been given the death sentence for criticizing Prophet Muhamad through his articles.
According to Reuters the journalist was sentenced by a court in the northwestern city of Nouadhibou for an article he published almost a year ago, questioning some of the decisions Prophet Mohammed took during holy wars.
Some folks saw the article which he posted online and appeared on a number of websites and called for his arrest. He was arrested on January 2nd 2014 after the article sparked street protests and has been in custody ever since. When he appeared in court, he pleaded not guilty, telling the court that it was 'not his intention to harm the prophet' but he was still found guilty and sentenced to death under Sharia law. The prosecutors recommended that he be shot to death.
