Writer Pim Lammers also takes steps against the ultra -conservative Catholic Civitas Christiana Foundation. Lammers who grew up in Norg would have been the target of ‘multiple hate campaigns and distribution of fake news’ from the organization for a long time.
Pim Lammers and his publisher Singel Publishers have summoned Civitas Christiana today to remove all the untruths about Pim Lammers, reports Singel publishers. If this is not met, the publishing house will initiate summary proceedings.
Children’s book writer Pim Lammers, who won several prizes for his work on gender and sexual diversity, has been receiving a lot of criticism from Christian organizations for years. About the steps he takes against Civitas, he says: “I like to talk to people about literature and diversity, but the conscious spread of lies and hatred make a dialogue impossible.”
According to Singel Publishers, Lammers is not the only author whose work is being attacked by Civitas Christiana. Campaigns of the organization would have led to hate messages and serious threats against authors.
Yesterday, fourteen organizations jointly expressed themselves against the “targeted slander campaign” against children’s book authors. At the end of last year, Platform writers secure on the basis of a survey that many writers are confronted with aggression, intimidation or threat.
