Urgent Action: Stop the imminent deportation of apostate Hussain Muradi to Afghanistan

Hussain Muradi, activist of the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain (CEMB) and One Law for All Campaign, has been detained on September 10, 2009 and is facing imminent deportation back to Afghanistan where he will face the death penalty for apostasy.

As part of his fight against the Islamists, Hussain has publicly renounced Islam in order to break the taboo that comes with such a renunciation and push for the right to leave religion, particularly crucial given that apostasy is punishable by death under Sharia law.

Despite having a pending fresh claim that was likely not have been reviewed until 2011 and despite the fact that the police informed CEMB members who accompanied him that he would be released shortly, he was issued a Home Office refusal letter that very afternoon and told he would be deported to Afghanistan in a couple of days. The authorities initially tried to force him to sign his removal order and refused him any calls until he persisted.


In a statement right before he was detained, he said: If I went back to Afghanistan myself, I would call it a suicide; if I am sent back to Afghanistan, I would see it as an execution.

Please sign this petition and save his life.
