12 May 2017: Mohamed Salih (or in some source Mohamed al-Dosogy) was arrested for “apostasy” after writing to a Sudanese court that he wanted to change the religion listed on his national identification card from ‘Islam’ to ‘atheist’ or ‘non-religious’. It was widely reported that under Sudan’s “apostasy” law he faced a possible death sentence. Within days, however, the case was dismissed following a psychiatric and al-Dosogy was released by the court. The test purported to find that Mohamed was not mentally competent to stand trial. Mr al-Dosogy’s defence reportedly rejected the court’s decision, saying the defendant never asked the court to submit him to a psychiatric test.
