Supreme Leader’s letter to American students to be published in Venezuela

Amin Ansari, Secretary General of the Youth Organization of Human Rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran, met with Dr. Arturo Pe rasa, the chancellor of the Andres Bello Catholic University of Venezuela.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Amin Ansari, Secretary General of the Youth Organization of Human Rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran, met with Dr. Arturo Pe rasa, the chancellor of the Andres Bello Catholic University of Venezuela.

The Secretary General of the Human Rights Youth Organization said,” Iran's civilization is known as one of the three glorious civilizations of human history, which has been a pioneer in many fields, including science and technology, and has provided valuable services to the advancement and progress of humanity.”

The International Affairs Adviser to the President of Tehran University further noted that in this regard, recently, the International Scientific, Cultural and Educational Organization (UNESCO) in document No. 39 C/15 on October 20, 2017, declared the Jundishapur University of Iran as the oldest university in the world with 1750 years history.

Ansari, while emphasizing the fact that the meeting of presidents of Iranian and Venezuelan universities provides a great opportunity for bilateral scientific cooperation between Iran and Venezuela, said,” on the occasion of the international event "1757 years of tradition of higher education in Iran" organized by the University of Tehran with the symbolic title of "higher education with a legacy of ancient history, science and knowledge" will be held in Tehran on July 2, 2024 to commemorate Jundishapur University.”

The Secretary General of the Human Rights Youth Organization said, referring to the students' awakening, "The continuation of the Zionist regime's crimes against the oppressed people of Gaza and Palestine caused American academics to protest and started a movement against the government."

“Of course, there is a history in the Vietnam War, when the American crimes were revealed, the American universities started a movement against the government, which was effective in stopping the Vietnam War, so this story is likely being repeated. The role of students in regional and world developments is clearly defined.” He added.

Amin Ansari also said that at this point, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution's letter to the American students shows that they especially used interpretations that today you are on the resistance front. The support that the students give to the Palestinian resistance is in a way similar to the resistance front.

The Secretary General of the Human Rights Youth Organization added,” Considering that the Gaza tragedies showed that the nature and essence of Western civilization are Zionist, and the miracle of Gaza revealed this fact, therefore, the waves of protest against these Zionist atrocities in the West and the association with Gaza and the axis of resistance revealed that just as there is an Israel in the West Asian region, there is an Israel and the Zionist system in the West. Therefore, just as a resistance front is emerging in the region and creating these honors for the awakened consciences of free people of the world, an anti-Israel resistance front has also emerged in the West and especially in America against the Zionist ruling system.”

In this meeting, Dr. Arturo Pe Rasa, President of Andres Bello Catholic University, while thanking the presence of Amin Ansari, Advisor of International Affairs to the dean of Tehran University, said, "I consider the meeting of Iranian and Venezuelan universities to be important for cultural and scientific exchange since it facilitates the development and progress of academia.”

Dr. Arturo Pe Rasa congratulated Iran for being recognized as the initiator of academic tradition in the world, adding,” Iran has the greatest civilization and culture on the planet and this is an honor for us.”

Announcing the readiness of the Catholic University, he added that the atmosphere of this university is suitable for interfaith dialogue and cultural communication, and we are ready to start scientific cooperation and exchange on behalf of myself and the university.

Referring to the Palestinian issue, he said that we share your concern for Palestine and any action that leads to discrimination and oppression must be eliminated.

The President of the Catholic University of Andres Bello, further noted, "I am proud to distribute the letter of Ayatollah Khamenei among university professors and students, and I will take the necessary measures to publish the letter at the meeting of presidents of Venezuelan universities."

Dr. Arturo Pe Rasa added,” I will personally include paragraphs of this letter in the final statement of the meeting of presidents of universities in Venezuela.”
