UN Invokes Human Rights on Israeli Anti-adhan Bill
UN Invokes Human Rights on Israeli Anti-adhan Bill
New York - Arab Today
UN Secretary-General's spokesperson has stressed protection of freedom of religion after a preliminary move by Israeli MPs to limit the Muslim call to prayer -- adhan -- through loudspeakers. "Of course we want to make sure that the rights of all, including the religious rights of all are respected," Farhan Haq said Friday.
He said the effort seemed to be in its early stages. "We'll have to see what happens with this as it proceeds," he added. Israeli parliament, the Knesset, on Wednesday approved a preliminary reading of the controversial bill, which would ban the use of loudspeakers to amplify the adhan between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
The bill proposes fines on violators ranging between the equivalent of $1,300 and $2,600. Second and third readings of the draft law must still be approved by a majority of Knesset members before the legislation becomes law.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led hisGMT 09:22 2018 Monday ,22 January
