- Desert park closed to prevent summer deaths

Australia’s harsh Simpson Desert conservation park will be closed during the southern hemisphere summer to prevent tourists dying in the outback. Temperatures in the Desert are forecast to reach 40 to 50 degrees Celsius and authorities said it would be too dangerous for people to try and cross the desert. The Simpson Desert has no official roads – just tracks which criss-cross some of the world’s longest sand dunes. The park will be closed until March 15.

호주 사막, 열사 방지를 위해 폐쇄
호주의 험한 심슨 사막 공원이 남반구의 여름 기간 동안 관광객이 사망하는 것을 막기 위해 폐쇄된다. 기온이 섭씨 40도에서 50도까지 올라갈 것으로 예측됨에 따라, 사막 횡단을 시도하는 사람들에게는 너무 위험할 것이라고 당국이 결정을 내린 것, 심슨 사막에는 공식 도로가 없고, 단지 세계 최장 모래 언덕을 가로지르는 트랙들만이 있을 뿐이다. 사막 공원은 3월 15일까지 폐쇄된다.

- Tomboy protests are a security threat?

Malaysia’s police say protests over an edict against Muslim women wearing trousers are a security threat. The government of Malaysia, a mainly Muslim country, recently issued a religious ruling that wearing trousers was un-Islamic. It said that, by wearing trousers, young girls risked becoming “tomboys.” That move triggered small protests from two non-Muslim non-government organizations.

말괄량이들의 시위가 보안 위협?
말레이시아 경찰은 무슬림 여성의 바지 착용을 금지하는 칙령에 반대 시위를 벌이는 것이 보안에 위협이 된다고 말했다. 대부분의 인구가 무슬림인 말레이시아에서는 최근 바지를 입는 것이 이슬람 교리에 반하는 것이라는 종교 칙령을 내린 바 있다. 바지를 입으면 어린 소녀들이 ‘말괄량이’가 될 수도 있다는 내용이다. 이에 따라 비무슬림 비정부기구 도 곳에서 소규모 시위를 벌인 바 있다.
