A New Humanist organisation in Lebanon<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

IHEU recently assisted the establishment of an Association for Democracy in Lebanon. Founded by Freethinker Georges Saad, to start with, the Association aims to provide a unique focal point for humanists in Beirut. The organisation’s recent activities included preparation and distribution of a tract during the globalisation summit at Qatar and examining the violation of the rights of foreign domestic servants working in Lebanon. A website has been developed, and future plans being made include organising an IHEU seminar, publishing of a booklet in Arabic on IHEU, International humanism and other related subjects as well as establishing links with development agencies working in Lebanon.
