Taha Siddiqui, Pakistani journalist and author living in Paris in exile

Taha Siddiqui worked as a journalist in his home country Pakistan until the army tried to kidnap him. He is now living in exile in France. There he published his life story as a graphic novel together with the French artist Hubert Maury. I translated "Dissident Club" into German for the Alibri publishing house.

In the podcast we talk about the book, Taha's upbringing in Pakistan and Saudia Arabia, the religious radicalisation of his parents, the Wahhabi influence on Islam in Pakistan, the situation for non-believers in the two countries today and Taha's upcoming plans.
