  Greetings. I am Farangis Mazloum, Soheil Arabi’s mother. He is an atheist and anarchist prisoner [in Iran who was initially sentenced to death for Facebook posts]. I would like to thank those calling for October 3rd to be named International Soheil Day. I ask everyone who is watching this video to support us and to support Soheil. Soheil should have been freed many years ago because of all that he had suffered and the amnesty. However, unfortunately, not only did they not release him, but they added two more years imprisonment to his sentence. I appreciate your efforts in...

29-30 October 2021 Vrijdenkersfestival 2021 (Freethinkers Festival 2021) De Balie, Amsterdam Met onafhankelijke geesten uit alle windhoeken, de een nog moediger dan de ander. Het begrip vrijheid is onlosmakelijk verbonden met Amsterdam. De stad deed in de 17e eeuw al dienst als veilige haven. Voor vrijdenkers, afvalligen en andere lastpakken. Vanzelfsprekend trokken scherpe geesten als René Descartes, John Locke en Baruch de Spinoza naar de stad. Waar anders konden ze wonen, denken, schrijven en publiceren? Wie elders om zijn denkbeelden werd verjaagd, kreeg in Amsterdam een warm welkom. Als andersdenkende werd je er gezien en gehoord. Vanaf dat moment is...

Carte blanche: liberté, dignité et fraternité pour l’Afghanistan, Le Soir, 28 August 2021 Nous, signataires de ce message de solidarité envers le peuple afghan, sommes, certes, contre toute ingérence d’un pays tiers, quelles que soient ses bonnes ou louables intentions, à l’intérieur d’une nation souveraine et indépendante. Nous sommes également, à l’inverse, pour l’autodétermination des peuples, leur autonomie comme leur liberté. Aussi, ce contre quoi nous nous insurgeons donc ici, est-ce, avant tout, la manière – la méthode –, improvisée et bâclée, dont l’Occident, les Etats-Unis d’Amérique en tête, mais aussi l’Union européenne, vient de quitter précipitamment, en ces deux...

Women Against Taliban, Frauen gegen Taliban, Hpd, 25 August 2021 With the takeover by the Taliban in Afghanistan, people around the world are fearing that the Taliban’s first victims will be millions of women. Only a few days has passed since the takeover by this reactionary force, and the Taliban leaders are already talking about ordering young girls into forced marriages, imprisoning women in their homes and imposing compulsory hijab and Islamic laws; and, wherever they have been able to, they have started attacking women and girls. We are not only deeply concerned about the safety, right to life and...

Instagram had initially hidden #ExMuslim hashtag. Then it was “No Results Found”. Finally, after much protest, the hashtag as been reinstated. Just another example of discriminating against #Islam’s #atheists & non-believers and erasing their existence, which only aids the #Islamists and furthers persecution e-Muslims face.
