What is the connection between the Auschwitz memorial director and this Nigerian boy? Why is he (and these 119 others) trying to take a bullet for him, so to speak?

Help ameliorate the punishment for a less unjust outcome in this specific case. 2. Take a symbolic action to protest blasphemy laws as a whole. No need to look for hidden motivations!
