To the Youth in Western Countries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 29 November 2015, Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, published an open letter addressed to the youth in Western countries. It is the second letter of its kind, the first one having been published in January 2015. Both were distributed via his accounts on various social media, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, using the hashtag #CommonWorry. The second letter deals with Khamenei's views on the causes of recent terrorism. It was written in response to the November 2015 Paris attacks and other contemporary terrorist actions, such as the Metrojet Flight 9268 crash and the 2015 Beirut bombings.[1] As of December 26, 2015, the letter has been translated to 62 languages in a collaborative effort conducted by his representative[2][3] in the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Al-Mustafa International University graduates, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,[4] the IRIB World Service and the countries' respective embassies.
