FRITANKE IN NORWAY REPORTS ON THE BIG QUESTION WITH BABU GOGINENI FRITANKE is the publication of one of the worlds most powerful Humanist organisations, the Norwegian Humanist Association (NHA), which has over 85,000 members. The Norwegian Humanist Association plays an active role in international Humanism and in the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU). I have had the honour of participating in several impressive Humanist events in Norway, including one attended by the King of Norway at the beautiful Oslo Town Hall - which is where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded. IHEUs World Congress in 2011 was also held in Oslo. IHEUs present Treasurer Roar Johnsen is a former Chair of the NHA. Steinar Nilsen, another former Chair of NHA, was president of the European Humanist Federation. And Levi Fragell who was Secretary General of the Norwegian Humanist Association and led its extraordinary rise was instrumental in implementing the Minimum Statement on Humanism of IHEU and the policy on a Common Identity for Humanists worldwide. He was President of IHEU for many years, and even visited Nigeria and Pakistan to defend the rights of Amina Lawal and Dr. Younis Shaikh who were in danger of being murdered because of Islamic fundamentalists. fritanke.no/index.php?page=vis_nyhet&NyhetID=9563 You can read this article using Google Translate.
