The Kitchener Baha'i community invites everyone to take part in the global campaign called Education is Not a Crime, in defense of those in Iran who are currently being denied access to education based on their religious beliefs.
The story of the persecution of Iran’s Baha’is, and the creation of the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education, are the subject of the film To Light a Candle, produced by the Iranian-Canadian filmmaker Maziar Bahari. The film uses personal stories and dramatic archival footage to explore the persecution of the Baha’is and the role of their peaceful resistance in Iran’s democratic movement.
Join us for a screening of the film and a discussion at Kitchener Public Library central branch on Friday, February 27th at 3pm. All are welcome.
Join in the conversation on Facebook (#EducationIsNotaCrime) and on Twitter (@eduisnotacrime).
