My full name is Emir Onur Cilek Romano. I've invested 10+ years in militant atheist activism. I'm an Ex-Muslim from Turkey. I have devoted my life to fight for the rights of non-believers in the Middle East region since 2011. 

 

I helped to establish the first-ever atheist Non-Governmental Organizations of the Republics of Turkey and Georgia. I am now working on establishing the first-ever atheist NGOs of the Republics of Azerbaijan, and Cyprus. I see organized atheism in the developing countries in the Middle East region as the ultimate answer for an enlightened tomorrow. 
 

As a victim of false allegations, I've spent a total of three years imprisoned in Turkey. I was forced to fight tens of bogus charges brought by the Pro-Islamic Turkish government. I was slandered and crucified by the religious Turkish media outlets. The charges I was once acquitted of were reversed to Guilty from Not Guilty by higher courts, after my atheist activism made its peak.

I am now an asylum seeker in Canada since 2017.
Former President of Atheist Alliance International. 
Board Member of Centre for Inquiry Canada.
