THE DIGNITY OF MAN IS UNIMPEACHABLE
The cruelties of human life I can not ignore.
I am a human being. A human being who is a painter.
My artwork is inspired by this blue planet.
All life on this planet, Nature, Humans and Animals in all their beauty
influence my artwork.
Constantly human beings destroy nature and human life on this planet.
Their reasons are many: money, power, megalomania, intolerance, racism ...
Daily violence, rape, torture, wars, massacres, genocides,
crimes and destruction of nature and homes ...
all this terror, all this killing I can not ignore. I am also responsible . . .
Everyone has the right to speak out!
Yes, I have a voice,
and I say
honour killings must end, stop the intolerance,
end sexual harassment and rape,
women must have the same rights as men,
. . .
It's up to everyone to speak out for peace and say "No" to war!,
it's up to everyone not to join an army,
drones are terror and they create more terror,
the support of dictatorregimes, warlords, mercenaries must be stopped,
No military trials for Civilians, no dictatorship,
. . .
Stop the inhumane treatment of refugees,
. . .
stop belo monte dam,
stop corruption,
stop megalomaniac and inhuman politics,
the destruction of nature has got to stop!,
the killing of people because of construction projects has to stop!,
Indigenous people and their rights must be respected!
. . .
Respect minorities independent from their origin and faith,
an isolated life in containers is no "proper housing", this is inhuman,
. . .
the death penalty must be abolished worldwide,
. . .
No faith and nothing justifies the torture and killing of people,
Nothing justifies the imprisonment, torture, killing of children,
it is more than a shame that for many children the road is their home.
. . .
It was hard work to create the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

We must defend them together!,
. . .
Unfinished, as the Egyptian and Tunisian Revolution

The daily racism, intolerance and violence must end . . .
Our basic and universal human rights must be respected!
Every human being on this planet has the same rights!
We are all equal. We are all one family!
It's up to everyone . . . There are many ways
to express feelings, thoughts, opinions ...
Nobody and nothing can stop the spirit of freedom!

BANAZ - A LOVE STORY
http://fuuse-films.com/
by Deeyah
"Banaz Mahmod was brutally murdered by her own family,
in an honour killing.
This film tells Banaz’s story, in her own words, for the first
time – and tells the story of the extraordinary police team
who refused to give up, and finally brought her killers to justice."
