THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948. The Declaration represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled.

WITHOUT FREEDOM TO CHANGE RELIGION there is no religious freedom. Apostasy and blasphemy laws in Islam strip the individual from the right to have freedom of thought, religion and conscience, and deprive the ex-Muslim the right to exist in an Islamic state.
Open Letter to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights

MAHMOUD MOHAMMED TAHA (1909-1985) was a Sudanese religious thinker, leader, and trained engineer. In 1945, he founded an anti-monarchical political group, the Republican Party, and was twice imprisoned by the British authorities. Taha was arrested in 1985 for distributing pamphlets calling for an end to Shari'a law in Sudan, and sentenced to death.
