    I can’t believe Iran still is excuting people… it’s just so hard to see a woman, who kept saying she didn’t do anything, die for nothing after being in prison for 9 years! Ofcourse we don’t know if she’s as innocent as she stated, but still the death penalty isn’t the the most human thing to do… I think in those countries it’s still: an eye for an eye.

    And even worse is that Iran could’ve stopped the execution if the family of the murdered woman pardoned her. I understand the family is angry with her because she might have killed their familymember…

    A few years ago the chief of Iran’s judiciary asked for a fresh investigation what said that her execution shouldn’t be carried out. The worst thing about this execution I think is that Iran does it a few days before the day of the human rights, it’s like really saying to the world: “**** you with your laws and rights, we’ll make our own.”

    I think the United States has to do something about this, they have to push Iran more to change and some people might say this is their culture. Still I think they have to change.

    Angelina Jolie, a really famous actress as we know, visited today Bosnia and Herzegovina. Not just for fun. She was meeting the Bosnian victims of sexual violence during the Balkan conflict of the 1990s. They were very disappointed in her and they think she does not deserve her "goodwill ambassador" status because she ignored their concerns over a forthcoming film. 
    The film is about a Bosnian muslim woman who's a rape victim. She falls in love with her Serbian attacker.
    Jolie says that the film is not about raping. It's a love story between a Serb guard in a prison camp and his former girlfriend, a Bosnian Muslim detainee. Nevertheless the meeting of Jolie with the victims. The film was permitted to go on in Bosnia.

    On one hand I can understand the fact that the producers want to make the movie. They think that it wont hurt anyone. But they think wrong. I know it's been almost 20 years since the war in Bosnia. But it is still painful. Our culture isn't that open when it comes to the war. The most of us want to forget it. Many people lost many family members during that war and many were raped. So I think that you can't blame them when they get angry about it. And that they don't want this movie to be made. 
    Personally, I'm against this movie. I think you see it trough different eyes when you didn't experience the war. People who don't know how a war feels can't, in my eyes, really give an opinion about this topic. So I think that Angelina Jolie should have thought more about the consequences. In her eyes it's another movie added to her list but in other peoples eyes this movie really affects them.

    Because I couldn't really find a news report that intrested me enough, I am going to review the most anticipated movie (atleast for me) of this season: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!

    Wow, just wow. It's finally here. The end of the story the story that defined my and lots of people's youth is now poured into a movie.
    The fact that the book is going to be made in two parts could be looked upon from 2 sides:  the "Oh my god that's such an economic move"-side
    and the "that's nice, because the book is way too detailed to be poured into a 2-hour movie"-side. I myself, am part of the second side, especially because the 7th book was my absolute favourite.
    Now onto the movie! The movie is really great, it follows my imagination on the dot, and the fact that the atmosphere in the 7th book is really grim and dark, has carried over to the movie which is a really good thing, because the 7th book is a really dark and grim book. You see everything: the suffering of Lucius and Draco Malfoy becuase Voldemort senses that they are not really on his side anymore, the emotional event of Hermoine deleting herself from the memory of her parents to the heart-breaking but bittersweet death of Dobby. This is also, for me atleast, a 'flaw' in the movie: when you step out of the cinema you feel really, really depressed, because the first part ends in a really grim way. But then again, I doubt there would've been another option.

    and to end with the famous words of Toby Turner;
    If you sneezed during reading this, bless you.
    Bless your face, peace off!
