Authoritarian Government Always Suppresses Free Speech ? But the Worst Part is the Public Joins In Sat Aug 31, 2024 11:00 | Sallust
Authoritarian government always suppresses free speech, but the worst part is that the public joins in, says Sallust, as he sees lessons in the 1939 writings of Nora Waln, who saw the iron fist coming down before her eyes.

Call from the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq- abroad representative
To make International Women’s Day on 8 March a day of saying No to Islamic Sharia law in Iraq
To all women’s, progressive, secularist and labour movement organizations
Iraqi women are facing a historic threat. The US/UK occupation has strengthened political Islamist groups, who now constitute a majority in the US-installed parliament and have a dominant position in the new constitution based on ethnic division and the principles of Islamic Sharia law. Iraq’s personal status law will now be abolished and all marital and family matters will be conducted on the basis of Sharia and other forms of religious-tribal law. This means the enslavement of Iraqi women under a system of laws developed hundreds of years ago in the dark ages. Iraqi women will not accept their subjugation. We will stand firm against both the occupation and political Islam in Iraq.
To do this we need your solidarity - please support us in our struggle.
Please sign the following statement and send it back to us:
"The war and the occupation of Iraq by the US and UK have opened the way for reactionary forces in Iraqi society to impose a constitution based on Islamic Sharia and other forms of religious-tribal law. We the undersigned organizations and individuals condemn the introduction of religious law. We demand freedom and equality for Iraqi women and support their Struggle for a democratic, secular and egalitarian constitution."
