The International Humanist and Ethical Union has joined with its member organization One Law for All to hold a Rally for Free Expression in London on 11 February. The rally was organized to respond to the recent spate of attacks on free speech in the UK, including threats and censorship directed at Humanist student groups at the University of London (see IHEU stories at  http://www.iheu.org/humanists-condemn-another-attack-atheist-expression-london-university and at http://www.iheu.org/threats-violence-force-cancellation-university-talk-sharia-law).

IHEU member organizations One Law for All and the National Secular Society held a successful debate on Islamic law at the House of Commons on Tuesday 28 June 2011. The meeting, chaired by Jim Fitzpatrick MP, explored the merits and legitimacy of Sharia law in the United Kingdom.

IHEU member organization One Law for All will mark International Women's Day with an all-day conference in London on "Women’s Rights, Sharia Law and Secularism" on March 12, 2011.

To mark International Human Rights Day, the International Humanist and Ethical Union is co-sponsoring an all day conference on “Apostasy, Sharia Law and Human Rights” at Conway Hall Humanist Centre, 25 Red Lion Square, London, UK. The conference will highlight urgent cases, including Pakistani Asia Bibi who has received a death sentence for blasphemy, Palestinian Waleed Al-Husseini who has been arrested for criticising Islam, and campaigners in Iran charged with ‘enmity against God’, and demand their unconditional and immediate release.
