Dear friends,
I need your help.
Born in Egypt, Majed El Shafie was arrested, tortured and sentenced to die after converting from Islam to Christianity. Majed managed to escape to Israel, before eventually settling in Canada where he founded One Free World International (OFWI), an international human rights organization that focuses on the rights of religious minorities around the world. OFWI promotes awareness of human rights abuses and comes to the aid of those who are suffering because of their religious beliefs or expression.
The just-released award-winning documentary “Freedom Fighter” (Destiny Image Films) documents Majed’s work as he travels to Afghanistan and Pakistan seeking out those persecuted for their religious beliefs, and challenging their governments to change.
One of those cases is a little girl named Neha from Pakistan. When her family refused to convert to Islam, 2 year-old Neha was raped & nearly killed. Majed worked desperately to get Neha and her family out of Pakistan, where they lived for three years in hiding while being hunted by extremists.
Today we are launching a social media campaign to raise awareness for the victims of religious persecution around the world. Like the very successful #Kony2012 campaign a few months back, we are hoping to take Neha’s story viral for the purpose of raising awareness of the human rights abuses of so many that are suffering because of their religious beliefs.
WE NEED YOUR HELP…
