The director of the Spanish section of Amnesty International, Esteban Beltrán, will participate this Tuesday, February 4, in the VI Solidarity Conference 'Here we just want to be human', as part of the Cartagena Piensa program of the Department of Culture of the City Council of Cartagena.
More than 200 million migrants and some 60 million refugees try to move around the world in search of a better life and protect themselves from their persecutors.
Why do many governments consider them less human beings than others?
Do these people have the right to get shelter and flee from their persecutors?
Or is it a matter of decision of the politicians who receive them?
These and other questions will raise Beltrán in the talk that, under the title "Migrants and refugees are the new globally persecuted," will take place at the Higher Technical School of Agronomic Engineering (ETSIA) from 19.00 hours and will be presented and moderated by María Jesús Achega, member of Amnesty International.
