On this day in 1776 Thomas Paine published 'Common Sense', a fierce political pamphlet that fuelled the American revolution. Paine saw organised religion as an oppressive tool to monopolise power, and through his eloquent writing, he fought for the separation of church and state.
A heartbreaking story. If returned to Saudi Arabia, Rahaf faces death not just at the hands of her family, but under Saudi law - at the will of her government. The word must not continue to turn a blind eye to the barbarity of the Saudi regime. #SaveRahaf https://t.co/n0TUuswXkM
Saudi woman, Rahaf al-Qunun, trapped in Bangkok - she fears her family will KILL her if she is returned.
