Condemn the Threat against Yanar Mohammed

 

Once again the Islamists lean to use the methods that they are best known for; murder and threats of death, for all those who struggle for freedom and equality. Those Islamists have threatened Yanar Mohammed, the women activist and head of Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq OWFI, with death if she did not stop her activities. This shows beyond any doubt, the extent of their movement’s brutality and barbarism. It also shows that the American war against the people of Iraq had created a total chaos and insecurity for millions of women and caused to unleash the forces of barbarism, patriarchy, and darkness; Political Islam.

 

On behalf of all women in our organization we strongly condemn and denounce these threats and confirm our determination to increase our activities and struggles for full equality between women and men in Iraq.

 

If Political Islam is totally bankrupt and can not speak but the language of killing and death, the civilized women’s movement will continue its political struggle and produce thousands of women like Yanar. 

 

We call upon all women and workers organizations, political parties, freedom loving people and secularists to condemn such threats against Yanar Mohammad and to show their solidarity with women demands of freedom and  full equality.
