Dave Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 For those who are interested: Hommage à Anna Politkovskaïa et Hrant Dink À l'initiative de P.E.N-International et en réaction aux assassinats des journalistes Anna Politkovskaïa et Hrant Dink, le Centre québécois du P.E.N. International, Amnistie internationale section canadienne francophone et Reporters sans frontières Canada se rassemblent pour présenter une soirée d'hommage de la communauté montréalaise au nom de la liberté d'expression le 20 mars 2007 à l'auditorium de la Grande Bibliothèque du Québec à Montréal de 19h30 à 21h. Des extraits tirés des publications d'Anna Politkovskaïa et de Hrant Dink seront lus au public par les journalistes Michel Désautels, Dennis Trudeau, Julie Miville-Dechêne, Pierre Cayouette, Pierre Thibeault et les écrivains Hélène Dorion, Gil Courtemanche, Marie-Sissi Labrèche, Normand de Bellefeuille et Chrystine Brouillet. La soirée sera ponctuée d'intermèdes musicaux et le public sera sollicité pour écrire des «fleurs de papier». Des personnalités des communautés arménienne (Myrna Karamanoukian, Rupen Kouyoumedjian ) et russe (Michael Gourvits ) feront une brève lecture en arménien et en russe. La journaliste russe Anna Politkovskaïa a été assassinée le 7 octobre 2006 à Moscou. Elle n'a jamais cessé de dénoncer les violations des droits de l'homme commises en Russie et en Tchétchénie. Elle est l'auteure de: Douloureuse Russie, La Russie selon Poutine, Tchétchénie le déshonneur russe et Voyage en enfer: journal de Tchétchénie. Le journaliste turc d'origine arménienne, Hrant Dink a été assassiné le 19 janvier 2007 devant les locaux de son journal Agos à Istanbul. Tout au long de sa carrière, il a mené un combat acharné pour la reconnaissance du génocide arménien et a été récompensé notamment du prix Henri Nannen pour la liberté de la presse. La soirée est libre d'accès dans la limite des 300 places disponibles. Nous sollicitons votre participation et celle du grand public afin d'ajouter des voix à la dénonciation de la censure et lutter contre l'impunité. and The movie Screamers will be shown here on Friday and Saturday. See the attached picture for info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I doubt that they're finished. You don't have to buy them from the website, by the way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 What am I saying... I should have bought them from the internet. Apparently, it was sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verginne Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) Why are they lumping that filthy, dirty chechen terrorist lover with Hrant Dink? What an insult to him to be lumped with that TRASH. A protest should have been organized against that. I hope that Armenians did not participate. After all, chechens fought against Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh. Edited March 25, 2007 by Verginne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
