Secular Underground Network hasn't added a story.
My name is Maarten Freriks, director of the Secular Underground Network of the International Association of Atheists. We call ourselves Secular Rebels, because we try to help atheists all over the world, that came into trouble because they do not believe in any god. One of the people we are helping to escape is Asif and his family.
An edict to kill Asif and his wife, Inaya, and kidnap their daughter
A Pakistani man, his wife, and young daughter are hunted by his family because he has turned his back on their Muslim beliefs.
"My family and other Muslim extremists wants to kill us because they want to go to heaven unconditionally," said Asif. "They want to kidnap my daughter and want to make her a good Muslim."
His family's fervour to kill him and his wife and take their daughter is buttressed by a religious edict issued by a panel of Muftis in Pakistan. The edict has turned Asif and his family into refugees in their own country.
Covid hits hard if you have nothing
While making plans to leave the country, Asif's wife became infected with Covid-19. With our help she could go to a private hospital, where she is on respiration now. The free government hospitals bring risk of recognition and persecution. But the private hospitals costs money. So if it wasn't for our generous members, Asif had the choice of letting his wife die of Covid, or taking the risk to get killed by Muslim extremists or persecuted by the government. Every day longer in hospital increases the costs. And as soon as his wife get's better, we would like to help them leave the country as soon as possible.
Read the blog and donate
Based on an interview with Asif our colleague wrote this blog, before his wife got sick. If you have a dollar to spare, please consider helping Asif to take care for his wife and daughter, and flee the country after that.
