Ex-Muslims International calls for immediate release of Ibtissame Betty Lachgar currently in a Moroccan jail charged with blasphemy for posting about a t-shirt with “Allah is Lesbian”
Ex-Muslims International is horrified by the sentencing of Moroccan feminist and human rights defender Ibtissame Betty Lachgar to 30 months in prison for “blasphemy.”
Ex-Muslims International, a global coalition of ex-Muslim organisations with thousands of members worldwide, expresses our strongest objection to the arrest and continued detention of Ibtissame Betty Lachgar!
On 27 August 2025, protesters gathered outside the Moroccan Embassy in London to demand the immediate release of Moroccan activist Ibtissame “Betty” Lachgar, arrested and prosecuted for “attacking the Muslim faith” after sharing a photo of herself wearing a T-shirt that read: “Allah is a Lesbian.”
Ex-Muslims International is launching a global campaign ahead of Apostasy Day (August 22) to #FreeBetty for Ibtissame Betty Lachgar who has been arrested for “blasphemy” in Morocco.
Ex-Muslims International denounces the detention of Moroccan feminist, human rights defender, and ex-Muslim activist Ibtissam “Betty” Lachgar for wearing a T-shirt proclaiming “Allah is lesbian” in a social media post.
August 22 is Apostasy Day — Ex-Muslims International is inviting you and our global community to: End Apostophobia. Celebrate Apostasy!
This Pride Month, Ex-Muslims International stands in unwavering solidarity with LGBTQ+ ex-Muslims across the globe—those who are not only criminalized for who they love and who they are, but also for what they no longer believe. #ExMuslimPride

At least four people, including a toddler, were killed, and 68 others were injured when Taleb Al Abdulmohsen deliberately drove into the Magdeburg Christmas Market on December 20.
