My relationship with Freemuse goes back to August of 2001 when I
met Mrs. Marie Korpe, the founder of Freemuse, for the first time in
Copenhagen. It was the day I was recognized as the best Artist of the
Year in Afghanistan. Mrs. Marie participated in distributing the award
to me. During my later meetings with her, I came to realize that Mrs.
Marie Korpe is not only an extremely nice and gentle soul, but she is
also a very determined, serious and highly cultured person. I found
her like a kind mother who cares for the freedom of speech just as
much as she cares for her children.

In a world where freedom represents an Artist’s major weapon and
the essence of his existence, the fight Freemuse is leading in order to
re-establish the freedom of speech for Artists, is worth gold.
If there were a paradise in this world, freedom holds the key to it.
This is exactly the root of my attachment with Freemuse. Today Freemuse
has become the hope of countless talented and freedom loving
artists. I wish them courage and success and I am sure that we will be
fighting side by side to obtain and preserve our freedom.
