If you would like to sign an electronic petition to campaign against a proposal which inserts Islamic Sharia into the constitution of Kurdistan – go to this link. The petition organisers consider the inclusion of the Sharia clause as t a major attack on the basic rights and liberties of the people of this region. In particular, they say, it will have worrying consequences for the rights of women and for the space for secular and progressive opinion in Kurdistan to find a voice. We want to make the world aware of this threat and mobilise to counter it.
