SUMMARY:Blasphemy Day 2025: Decriminalise Blasphemy! Free Betty!
DESCRIPTION:Join EXMI’s #FreeBetty Campaign for Blasphemy Day on Sept. 30!\nOn Blasphemy Day\, Betty will have endured 51 days behind bars in Morocco – simply for wearing a T-shirt deemed “blasphemous.”  \nWe need you and your voice more than ever! \nJoin Ex-Muslims International for a public action on 30 September in support of renowned activist Ibtissame Betty Lachgar. Betty has been imprisoned in Morocco for two and a half years for wearing a t-shirt with the slogan a ‘Allah is Lesbian.’ Call for the decriminalisation of blasphemy and for Betty’s immediate release.  \nGet in on the “Prison Mugshots” campaign for Blasphemy Day:\nTake mugshot photos holding a placard:\nUse these templates. Use black background for realism\, white background for printer-friendly or make your own. \nUse a short caption for social media: \n\nBlasphemy is not a crime and no one should be jailed for a t-shirt! #FreeBetty #BlasphemyDay2025\nIf Betty can be imprisoned for a t-shirt\, any of us could. #FreeBetty #BlasphemyDay2025\nBetty is a cancer survivor. She urgently needs medical care. #FreeBetty #BlasphemyDay2025\n\nFind and tag Moroccan authorities on social media:  \n\n@ChefGov_ma\n@Diplomatie_ma\n@Justice_Gov_ma\n\nPost it on your socials with two hashtags: #FreeBetty #BlasphemyDay2025 \nWhy Mugshots\, Not Selfies? \nWe’re not asking for just another solidarity selfie. Mugshots symbolise imprisonment — they show the reality that Betty is behind bars for a T-shirt. By taking a mugshot\, you place yourself symbolically in her position\, stripped of freedom and dignity for “blasphemy.” \n📸 How to Take Your Mugshot Photos (see examples below from Veiled Rose) \n\nStand against a plain wall or background\nHold the placard chest-high\nKeep a straight\, serious look (no smiles)\nWear plain/baggy clothes\, minimal makeup\nTake 3 shots: front\, left profile\, right profile\n\nThis helps people imagine what Betty is enduring — and makes the injustice impossible to ignore. \n   \nJoin the International Blasphemy Day YouTube livestream on Sept. 30: \nUniting the Cults will be hosting a special livestream for Blasphemy Day featuring members from Ex-Muslims International.  \nSign Betty’s petition\, get a t-shirt\, and visit Ex-MI’s #FreeBetty page to find out more ways to learn about and support Betty.  \nLet’s show the world that blasphemy is not a crime! #FreeBetty
