Please support Nazí Paikidze-Barnes to retain our basic human rights! Let us decide the future of chess to be a good one!
Today it is the time to fight for our fundamental freedoms that are
threatened to be taken away by the corruption within the FIDE. The basic
religious rights of all attendees, of all chessplayers by extension,
are at stake. The Iran is a nation of oppression, a nation that draws
from religious beliefs that they put over basic human
rights, and it would enforce those religious crimes against humanity,
against the free choice of religion also on the women that participate
here. What if you are a Pagan, what if your religion tells you that your
Gods want to see your face and hairs without any veil, they want to
show their work, the beauty of the human mind and its expression through
the face, for everyone to see? It is impossible to live your religion
freely in this case, you are suppressed by a regime that threatens up to
death to you if you don't obey their superstitions! This is
inacceptable! FIDE not only should not but simply is not permitted to
sell out human rights for the relationships its president has with the
president of Iran. Today we don't defend women rights. We defend the
rights of all humans, we defend freedom of speech and freedom of
religion themselves. If we lose this battle, we are no longer citizens
of the FIDE, but slaves! This is why I sign this petition, and this is
why everyone should sign! More is at stake here than just games, more is
at stakes than only one tourney, it is the entire future of how the
FIDE handles human rights!
