divorced
Hello, I am 30 and I was forced to marry and got divorced at age 17 because of my belief(mindset) and religion they annoyed me a lot. About 4 years ago I had nowhere to live. The beliefs in Afghanistan say that no one can get divorced and when I got divorced no one allowed me into their home, not even my family. For 4 years I was homeless. I can’t talk about it, because I had a lot of bad experiences at that time. All of my misery in life is because of Islam. It took a lot of hardship to get on my own feet. As of 21 years old I didn’t have religion and and I wrote all my thoughts down and at 23 years old I was arrested for the crime of political writing, and 72 whips and got 2 years in prison and everyday they would add a crime to my sentence. Because I lived alone they said I was a whore(prostitute) and brought me to jail. I can’t write all my problems in this note because my whole life in an Islamic country was full of doom and problems. Even in Greece I was harassed by muslims and complained and my rights were taken. I not only filed one complaint but 4 with the police, but they did not get to any of them. And my main problem is I am homosexual, and not even my family knows.

Dear sister,
The first thing I want to say is that I want to embrace you and take all your sorrows away…but unfortunately I can’t.
I am speechless about the cruelty you have been trough. My heart cries for you.
The only thing I can do is post your letter on Facebook, so more people will read it and become aware of all the suffering you and 10.000’s of other people are facing.
I also can tell you that in Holland we do everything we can to convince the government to help all the refugees.
In the meantime we ourselves do the best we can to help where ever we can.
I send you lots of love and positive energy, my sister.
Keep having faith and please keep writing! The world needs to know about your cruel story and the world needs to get to know you as a writer!
I embrace you.
Love
