This is how Muslim fragility plays out when Islamists are in power…
This is how religious ideas influence the religious in power to silence and punish Betty and freethinkers like us everywhere. Even for a t-shirt.
When Moroccan feminist and human rights activist Ibtissame Betty Lachgar defended freedom and posted a photo of herself on X wearing an Allah is Lesbian t-shirt…
She was first bombarded online with violent, death and rape threats.
Then she was arrested, fined and imprisoned for 30 months in Morocco for “insulting Islam”… A ridiculous blasphemy charge made possible by the religious and their fragility.
You’d think we were talking about ancient times but this literally happened 2-3 months ago.
I had just met Betty earlier this year for an event, in a secular country where she was freely wearing that same exact t-shirt.
I urge you all to visit and share FREEBETTY.ORG to help amplify Betty’s case as she’s denied appeals and critical medical care for her cancer.
