Hello
March 7 is around the corner. We are looking forward to seeing many of you
at the anti-racist London rally against Sharia and religious-based laws in
Britain and elsewhere and in defence of citizenship and universal rights in
Trafalgar Square from 330-430pm. You can find posters that have been
prepared for the rally by Dan Simon and Reza Moradi on our website. Please
feel free to download them and bring them along to the rally to ensure that
there are enough placards for everyone. At 4:30pm we will begin our march to
Red Lion Square and then join a public meeting at Conway Hall from
6:00-8:00pm. We will be registering people for the public meeting at Conway
Hall, 25 Red Lion Square WC1R 4RL from 5:00pm. From 5:30pm onwards, there
will be live music by Raised Voices, pastries and refreshments. The entry
fee to the public meeting is £5, including refreshments but we won't turn
anyone away. If you plan on coming, try and send in your booking form before
the event (by March 6) so that we can reserve a place for you.
We now have over 9,700 signatories to our petition. Please sign up to it if
you haven't already and tell others about it too. For more background on One
Law for All, the nature of Sharia councils and tribunals and on whether it
is Islamophobic to oppose Sharia law, see the latest interview with Maryam
Namazie and Bahram Soroush on Fariborz Pooya's Secular TV:
http://www.onelawforall.org.uk/mediaPages/SecularTV.html. You can also see
what a Sharia judge really means for people and women in particular by
watching a recent BBC TV Big Questions programme in which I participated:

By the way, we have set up a free Helpline (which will be launched at our
public meeting) for those who need help with and legal advice on Sharia law
decisions. We are specifically targeting women and children who may not be
aware of their rights under British law or fear to seek advice or go to
secular courts due to pressures and/or threats. Confidentiality and the
safety of those who call on us will be our main priorities. We will be
collaborating with other advice organisations such as AdviceUK in order to
provide high standard quality services and to find the best possible
solutions available. Yassi Molazadeh, our Legal Coordinator, has already
established a legal team to carry out much needed research in order to find
ways in which we can bring a halt to these kangaroo courts but we do need
lawyers, barristers and solicitors to provide pro bono legal advice to those
who come to us for help. We also need volunteers to receive training in
order to staff the Helpline and provide general information and referrals.
All our work is being run by volunteers so if you want to help in any way,
don't hesitate to contact us. We need all the help we can get.
Moreover, we plan to go on a speaking tour across Britain and
internationally after the March events in order to inform the public about
and raise awareness on Sharia councils and tribunals. If you'd like us to
come and speak in your area, just contact our Outreach Coordinator, Goranka
Gudelj, to arrange it.
And please don't forget to donate! All this work costs money and we can't do
it without your financial support. No amount is too small (or for that
matter too big).
To donate, for more information, to download flyers, posters or a booking
form for the March 7 London public meeting or to sign the petition, visit
