Manifesto

Aspiring to A just world
Established during the month of Ramadan in 2003, CAGE International is a community-powered organisation committed to stand for justice and oppose oppression in words and in practice.
Therefore, CAGE International:

Believes that Islam has been revealed as a mercy to mankind, and takes it as the source of our ethos

02

Embraces truth, justice, accountability, independence, and empathy with the oppressed and survivors, as its guiding values

03

Supports preventing and ending unjust wars and political interventions abroad since they cause mass casualties and corruption

04

Affirms the nations’ right to self-defense against aggression in pursuit of their legitimate aspirations

05

Stresses that all state policies and practices which lead to arbitrary imprisonment, degrading treatment and assassinations must end

06

Maintains that all individuals are entitled to due process and a fair trial

07

Want all laws and policies which contradict basic principles of justice to be repealed, particularly those that arose from the global War on Terror since 2001

08

Advocate that Muslim minorities must be free to live a dignified life according to their faith, free from state persecution, government interference , and attempts to distort their beliefs and identity.

09

Recognize that Islamophobia is structural first and foremost; insist that a fair and responsible approach must be adopted by politicians, institutions and media in engaging Islam and Muslims

10

Demand accountability for all governments, agencies and individuals - officials in particular - that are guilty of crimes or misconduct since 2001; as well as reparations for survivors and victims' families
