About the Author

This is my personal blog. Any comments made by me here are my own and don't reflect the various campaigns I work on (unless of course they are attributed to those campaigns). Some of my activities include being Spokesperson of the One Law for All Campaign against Sharia Law in Britain, the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain and Equal Rights Now - Organisation against Women's Discrimination in Iran. I work closely with Iran Solidarity, which I founded, and the International Committee against Stoning on the Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani stoning case amongst others. I am very much on the Left and am Central Committee member of the Worker-communist Party of Iran. Some of my other affiliations are: National Secular Society Honorary Associate and the NSS' 2005 Secularist of the Year award winner; Vice President of the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association; Honorary Associate of Rationalist International; and Emeritus member of the Secular Humanist League of Brazil. I was also selected one of the top 45 women of the year 2007 by Elle magazine Quebec. Feel free to comment on any entry and I'll try to respond as soon as possible.
