New Delhi: Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen arrived in Europe on Wednesday after leaving India for medical treatment.
Talking to PTI from Heathrow Airport in London, Taslima said she was waiting for a connecting flight but couldn’t reveal her destination.
"If I disclose my destination my security will be compromised. My face has now become recognisable and I could be target of religious fundamentalists," she said.
Taslima, facing protests, was kept incognito for nearly four months in a place near New Delhi. Security restrictions were imposed on her movement even in Kolkata before she was forced out of the city last year following violent protests.
"The (Indian) government is no better than religious fundamentalists," she told PTI. "I was put under tremendous stress but I could not speak out as I was under their (government) surveillance and could be harassed by them."
Nasreen has a heart condition and planned to see a doctor, said Maria Modig, vice president of Svenska PEN, the Swedish branch of the international writers' association.
"She has landed safely in Europe," Modig told Reuters. "She doesn't want to say where in Europe. But she wants us to say that she feels safe now and will also see a doctor and will try to see some friends."
Speaking to CNN-IBN on Tuesday, Taslima had said she was being “forced” out of India. “I am forced to leave India to get necessary treatment and save at least the rest of my body which has not yet been damaged from this extreme stress that I went through over these last several months,” she said.
PTI reports Taslima may be heading towards Sweden. She holds a permanent Swedish residency visa and Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter says she likely to take refuge in the country.
Taslima went to Sweden in 1994 to escape death threats from religious fundamentalists, who alleged her novel Lajja is blasphemous. She went to Sweden again in 1999.

புத்ததேவே தஸ்லிமாவுக்கு எதிரான ஊர்வலத்தை தூண்டி அவரை துரத்தியவர்- மஹாஸ்வேதா தேவி குற்றச்சாட்டு
எழுத்தாளர் மஹாஸ்வேதா தேவி அவர்கள், புத்ததேவ பட்டாச்சாரியாரே தஸ்லிமாவுக்கு எதிரான ஊர்வலத்தையும் கலவரத்தையும் தூண்டி அவரை கல்கத்தாவிலிருந்து துரத்தியவர். பஞ்சாயதது தேர்தலில் முஸ்லீம்களின் ஓட்டுகளை வாங்குவதற்காக இப்படிப்பட்ட கேவலமான செயலை செய்துள்ளார் என்று குற்றம் சாட்டியுள்ளார்.
எல்லா முஸ்லீம்களும் அடிப்படைவாதிகள் என்ற அடிப்படையில் இவ்வாறு புத்ததேவ் பட்டாச்சாரியார் செய்துள்ளார். அது உண்மையல்ல, எல்லா முஸ்லீம்களும் அடிப்படைவாதிகள் அல்ல என்றும் அவர் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
Buddhadeb a greater fundamentalist: Mahasweta Devi
January 31, 2008 00:26 IST
Eminent writer Mahasweta Devi has accused West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee of being a 'greater fundamentalist' who 'had conspired to throw Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen [Images] out of the state' and demanded his resignation.
"Bhattacharjee has said his Gujarat counterpart Narendra Modi [Images] is a fundamentalist, but what is he doing here? He hounded Taslima out of the city to get Muslim votes in the coming Panchayat polls in the state," the Magsaysay award winning writer told a press conference in Kolkata on Wednesday.
"The chief minister is a greater fundamentalist. He hatched a conspiracy to hound her (Taslima) out of the state. He should resign," she charged, demanding that Taslima be allowed to return to Kolkata.
She said she had spoken to Taslima, who is staying at undisclosed destination in Delhi, on Tuesday night.
"She is ill. Proper treatment was not given to her. As a writer, I demand that she be allowed to return to Kolkata," she said flanked by noted Hindi poet Kedar Nath Singh and Bengali poet Joy Goswami.
Virtually accusing Bhattacharjee of organising the violent protests by Muslims on November 21 demanding Taslima's ouster from the metropolis, Mahasweta Devi said the chief minister perhaps thought that all Muslims were fundamentalists, which was not true.
She wanted to know where Taslima was lodged and said writers in Delhi wanted to be by her side. She also asked Booker prize winner writer Arundhati Roy to talk to social activist Medha Patkar on the issue.
"We will take the issue to the international forum," she said, adding the Amnesty International had been informed.
