Aug. 17.– In a recent Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) Radio episode, Dr. David Kasali, founder and president of Congo Initiative, tells about recent attacks by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), including one in which a man was murdered just for acknowledging his faith in Christ and another in which a church was bombed during worship services.

Dharamsala, Aug.14 (DPnet).– The Chinese government is now targeting the children of Tibet, which is particularly heartbreaking because of the Chinese Communist Party's systematic and forcible separation of Tibetan children from their families and forcing them into boarding schools that alienate them from their culture.

Tibetan Children are separated from their families for months at a time, starting as young as age 4. Communist Party indoctrination in the schools is designed to complete the severing of connections to any aspect of being Tibetan.

They start in the morning telling them that Tibet has always been part of the Chinese motherland and Tibetans at large welcomed the People's Liberation Army invasion so that they may now live in peace. The fact is that independent scholars agree Tibet was a fully independent state for more than 2000 years until China invaded in 1950. 

Reporting from Dharamsala, July 26.– China has put into force a major religious affairs decree that will lead to strengthening Communist Party control over Tibetan Buddhism and further the objective of the religion’s “Sinification.”

Chinese state media announced that State Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA, known externally as the National Religious Affairs Administration) Order No. 19 “Administrative Measures for Religious Activity Venues” has come into force on Sept. 1, 2023. Simultaneously, Order No. 2 of the 2005 “Measures for Approval and Registration of the Establishment of Places of Religious Activities” has been repealed.

Jul. 8 (ICLEP).– Mes tras mes, el régimen cubano persiste en emplear diversos métodos represivos para sofocar la libertad de expresión y prensa en la isla. Durante el mes de junio, los ataques, amenazas y agresiones psicológicas, así como el uso abusivo del poder estatal, fueron los mecanismos más utilizados por la dictadura para silenciar a los isleños. El Instituto Cubano por la Libertad de Expresión y Prensa (ICLEP) registró 38 incidentes violatorios.

Los ataques no se limitaron a individuos aislados, sino que también afectaron a organizaciones comprometidas con la defensa de los derechos humanos. Estos actos coercitivos no solo intimidan y reprimen a quienes se atreven a expresar opiniones disidentes, sino que también buscan silenciar cualquier voz crítica dentro y fuera del país.

De las violaciones, 15 fueron ataques, amenazas y/o agresiones psicológicas, 11 usos abusivos de poder estatal, 6 detenciones arbitrarias, 5 reclusiones y una agresión física, la mayoría de ellos en las provincias de La Habana (17), Pinar del Río (5), Cienfuegos (5) y Santiago de Cuba (5).
