TEDX PUBLISHES MARYAM NAMAZIE’S CENSORED TALK
Maryam Namazie’s TEDx Warwick talk on ‘Creativity in Protesting Religious Fundamentalism’ has finally been published more than a year later as a result of public pressure - but without any slides. Namazie had initially been informed that her talk would not be published.
An advisory on the video states: ’Some viewers may find elements of this talk to be distressing or objectionable.’ CEMB finds the de facto blasphemy censorship and the erasure and dehumanisation of ex-Muslim stories distressing and dehumanising.
You can see the TedX video here.
Censored slides can be seen here.
