Alexander Aan (born 1981[1]) is an Indonesian atheist and ex-Muslim of Minang descent.[2][3] He was imprisoned in 2012 for posting comments and images to Facebook that were judged to be "disseminating information aimed at inciting religious hatred or hostility" by the Muaro Sijunjung district court.[1][4][5] The sentence sparked national debate[2] and caused Amnesty International to designate him a prisoner of conscience.[1]
