IBKA welcomes Düsseldorfer Aufklärungsdienst and the Richard Dawkins Foundation Deutschland as new corporate members. (07-Oct-2016)

We, the undersigned academics, intellectuals, human rights advocates, and organizations from Bangladesh and around the world, unequivocally condemn recent statements by Bangladesh government officials appearing to blame writers, publishers, and activists for their own deaths at the hands of violent extremists with suspected links to militant Islamist groups. We strongly urge the Bangladesh government to immediately take steps to vigorously protect the rights to freedom of religion, belief, and expression, both in word and in deed.

Letter to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
