Lawyers Secular Society

The Lawyers' Secular Society (LSS) was re-launched in January 2013 by telecoms lawyer Charlie Klendjian who served as Secretary until August 2015.

Klendjian's resignation came after he had agreed to speak in his LSS capacity at a proposed exhibition of cartoons of the prophet Mohammed, which had been scheduled to take place in London in September 2015. The event was principally being organised by the group [[Sharia Watch], led by Klendjian's close associate Anne Marie Waters.

Klendjian initially defended the decision to speak at this event on a platform alongside Waters (a former UKIP candidate) and other far-right figures including Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders and Paul Weston of Liberty GB, downplaying their well-known racism.

However, he then subsequently pulled out of speaking, citing "personal reasons" but claimed that the LSS remained supportive of the event and would sent a replacement speaker. No replacement speaker emerged and by mid August the proposed event was cancelled. Klendjian announced his resignation from the LSS on 19 August, citing 'security fears'.
