Nasim

Kian is a 14-year-old Iranian student from the Instituto Severo Ochoa in Alcobendas, Spain. He was selected to represent the Comunidad de Madrid in the final phase of Global Classroom, a UN educational program held at the UN headquarters in New York. Kian's entry into the United States has been blocked by the US government, citing a policy related to "protection of foreign terrorists." This decision has prevented him from participating in the UN project, despite seven months of preparation. The Spanish Ministries of Youth and Childhood, and Foreign Affairs have intervened, urging the US to reconsider its position. The situation is newsworthy due to the perceived injustice of barring a young student from an educational opportunity based solely on his nationality, raising questions about the application of US immigration policies and their impact on international collaborations.
