CATEDRA DE LA PAZ conjuntamente con la Fundación Don Bosco, en el marco del proyecto Ciudadanía Global, como integrantes de la RED INTERNACIONAL GLOBALINKS, se viene proyectando un CICLO DE PELICULAS para todo público en general, en especial, para los y las jóvenes de Mérida. Para este Miércoles 08 julio 2009, a las 6.30 pm en la Capilla Velatoria de Los Curos, Parte Media de Los Curos, en la ciudad de Mérida, se proyectara esta película. La Entrada Gratis, indico Walter Trejo Urquiola, Coordinador General de la Cátedra de la Paz y Derechos Humanos de la Universidad de Los Andes.
El trama consiste en la historia de una joven que crece en el Irán de la Revolución Islámica. A través de los ojos de Marjane, una precoz y abierta niña de nueve años, vemos las esperanzas de un pueblo rotas al tomar los fundamentalistas el poder, imponiendo el velo a las mujeres y encarcelando a miles de personas. Inteligente y sin miedo, engaña a los "guardianes sociales" y descubre el punk, Abba y Iron Maiden. Pero cuando su tío es ejecutado sin piedad y las bombas caen alrededor de Teherán en la guerra entre Irán e Irak, el miedo diario que rodea su vida es palpable.
Continua reseñando Walter Trejo, que a medida que crece, la audacia de Marjane hace que sus padres se preocupen por su seguridad. Y así, a los catorce años, toman la difícil decisión de enviarla a una escuela en Austria. Vulnerable y sola en un país extraño, resiste los malos tragos típicos de un adolescente. Además, Marjane tiene que combatir el hecho de ser equiparada con el fundamentalismo religioso y el extremismo de los que tuvo que huir. Con el tiempo es aceptada, e incluso experimenta el amor, pero tras el instituto se encuentra sola y con una terrible nostalgia de su hogar.
Por eso es una buena oportunidad, para ver esta película y entender mucho la realidad de Irán en estos momentos, de forma crítica y alternativa, esperamos que la gente de Mérida, en especial, de Los Curos nos acompañe en esta proyección, culmino Walter Trejo.
During his address today to the Interfaith Conference in Kazakhstan, President Shimon Peres called upon King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud of Saudi Arabia to come to Jerusalem, or to meet with him in Riyadh, to initiate discussions that would enable the implementation of their shared vision – the realization of a comprehensive peace between Israel and all the Arab states.
In his address before some 150 leaders of all the world's religions, including a large delegation of imams led by Sheikh Abdullah bin Abdul Mohsin Al-Turki, Secretary General of the World Moslem League and Sheikh Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi, the Grand Imam of Cairo's Al-Azhar Mosque, the Chief Rabbis of Israel and senior Church officials, President Peres called on leaders of the world's religions to separate religion from terror and to condemn religious leaders, who, in the name of God, advocate murder, warfare and bloodshed. The President appealed to his audience to promote peace, both around the world and in the Middle East, and emphasized that Israel's course was one of appeasement and peace with all its neighbors.
It should be noted that all the Arab and Moslem delegates at the conference listened attentively to President Peres' address, and only the Iranian delegate, Mehdi Mostafavi, senior advisor to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, left the hall, returning only after President Peres had finished his address.
In response to questions by reporters regarding the departure of the Iranian from the conference hall, President Peres stated that "There were times when Israel remained alone in the conference halls. This time, Iran was alone, while the Islamic religious leadership remained with Israel."
The conference was also addressed by Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger, who raised a picture of Gilad Shalit and called on the attending religious leaders to assist in the efforts to return him home, and by the Secretary General of the World Moslem League, Abdullah bin Abdul Mohsin Al-Turki, who stated that "I take this opportunity to call upon all religions to unite, to tear down the walls that separate us, and together promote a world of peace, tolerance and appeasement between all nations and all believers."
Shortly after the session's conclusion, President Peres conducted a prayer ceremony attended by hundreds of members of the Rahel Synagogue in Astana, and participated in a farewell event for members of his entourage, which included cabinet ministers and senior Israeli executives.
At the conclusion of the four-day visit to Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, President Peres noted that the visit was very successful. "It was an historic visit to two Moslem nations who have stood with Israel and have officially declared their intent to raise the level of their diplomatic relations with Israel. The official instructions of both presidents, Aliyev and Nazarbayev, to their heads of government, directing them to conclude the business transactions with Israel and to expand political and security cooperation with it, opened a tremendous opportunity for Israel to strengthen its position in the world."
Shraga Brosh, chairman of the Manufacturers Association of Israel, advised the president that during the visits, large-scale contracts between Israeli, Kazakh and Azerbaijani corporations had been signed, and that the high technological level of the Israeli companies made them extremely attractive for economic cooperation between Israel and these countries.
During the visits, a space technology agreement and an agreement on establishing unified industrial standards were signed with Kazakhstan, and a communications, cultural and scientific agreement was signed with Azerbaijan.

Religious leaders from different denominations have protested at certain clauses in the Religious Bill saying they are an upfront to religious freedom.
In a letter presented to the Local government minister, the prelates led by Bishop Emmanuel Koline of the Anglican Church last week said that the bill is putting churches in the category of NGOs and associations yet they differ from the two.
“Articles; 21, 32, 36 make it difficult to start a religious organization and their proper functioning, they said in remarks published by the Times, "the bill articulates that for someone to start a church, one must have at least 100 associates to sign in your statute while he/she must be a graduate."
While arguing that starting a church does not require someone to be academically upright but integrity, the leaders accused the state of handling churches like NGOs.
"Actually, I think if this law is passed, it is likely to cause tension," said bishop Koline.
