• China has destroyed or damaged up to 99% of Buddhist monasteries in Tibet
• 80 Tibetan monks were forcibly expelled from their monasteries last October

Tibetans are reclaiming their religious freedom 

On 21/22 October 2021, 30 teenage monks from Jakyung Monastery, and a further 50 from Deetsa Monastery, in Bayan County (Cn: Hualong), Qinghai Province were expelled by state officials. Security officers entered the monasteries and forcibly removed the students, before returning them to their respective homes.

Tibet Watch sources - under the condition of anonymity for their personal safety - reported that, upon return to their family homes, security officers informed students that they could no longer wear monks' robes, nor could they attend school. Such a directive limits young Tibetan Buddhists' access to their cultural heritage, as monasteries serve as an essential resource for Tibetan language and cultural learning.

Persecution has intensified in the last few years against Ethiopian Christians who proclaim the gospel and plant their churches in that country.

Muslims comprise roughly one-third of Ethiopia's total population and the majority concentrate in the southern Oromia region, where several large-scale attacks have accompanied the growth of Islamic extremism under the rules of Wahhabism, an especially violent form of Islam. Saudi Arabia and other Middle East Muslim countries are funding new mosques, Islamic schools, and the restoration of Islamic Wahhabi rule in the region. This rule is quite intolerant and intransigent and with its spread in the region have come devastating attacks on Christians, who in addition to losing homes, businesses and church buildings have been beaten and killed by the hundreds.

Although nearly 60% of Ethiopians identify as Christians, only about 20% are biblical in faith. The rest belong to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (EOC), whose teachings differ dramatically from Catholic or Protestant doctrine or even from other Orthodox churches.

Torture is one of the most horrendous ways of violating human rights that 21st Century Socialist dictatorships use to indefinitely hold on to power. Notorious facts, international reports, and the free press prove that regimes from Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Nicaragua apply torture in order to institutionalize fear. This is a criminal methodology that still remains unpunished. It is promoted and protected by Castrochavism and is overlooked by far too many democratic governments.

The United Nations Declaration against Torture, approved by the General Assembly on 9 December of 1975 establishes that “. . . torture means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person . . .when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official . . .”

The Interamerican Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture of 12 September of 1985, signed and ratified by Venezuela, Bolivia, and Nicaragua states that for the purposes of this Convention it shall be understood that “torture is the use of methods upon a person intended to obliterate the personality of the victim or to diminish his physical or mental capacities. . .”.

The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, adopted on 17 July of 1989, establishes in its Article 7 that “for purposes of the present Statute, it shall be understood as a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY any of the following acts. . :f) TORTURE. . .”
