Derechos Humanos / Human Rights

Jun.5 (DP.net).– La situación de cruel opresión en Nicaragua se deteriora cada día más, aplastando al pueblo en un régimen cada vez más totalitario, pero sobre todo desarrollando una violenta arremetida contra la Iglesia Católica para borrar del mapa toda oposición promotora de una ética democrática y defensora de los derechos humanos.

Entre sus maquinaciones para desacreditar y destruir la oposición digna y pacífica, el régimen de Daniel Ortega en Nicaragua ha acusado a la Iglesia nada menos que de lavado de dinero en varias diócesis. Según la Policía Nacional, encontraron dinero "ilícito" en las parroquias. La acusación se basa en que dicen  haber encontrado "grandes" cantidades de efectivo en algunas parroquias. Aparte de las colectas habituales durante las ceremonias en esas iglesias, han encontrado fondos que los bancos les han facilitado de sus cuentas corrientes a pesar de la orden del gobierno de congelar todas sus cuentas.

De esta manera, Ortega arremete contra la Iglesia, la banca y el gran capital. Y en concreto, la Iglesia se ve hostigada y acorralada por la policía, la fiscalía, la superintendencia y los analistas financieros pro gubernamentales. Esa estrategia asfixiante llega a un colmo represivo contra los maestros de centros de enseñanza patrocinados o mantenidos por la Iglesia que se han quedado sin salario por el bloqueo de sus cuentas bancarias.

Washington DC, May 29.– U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) and U.S. Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) unveiled a bipartisan, bicameral bill to amend federal law promoting dialogue between the Dalai Lama and the PRC.

“The Chinese Communist Party continues to oppress the Tibetan people. Tibetans are subject to the CCP’s mass surveillance and censorship tactics and are arbitrarily killed or imprisoned for expressing their desire for freedom,” Rep. McCaul said. “I am proud to introduce this bipartisan bill to reject the CCP’s claims that their tyranny over Tibet is legitimate and will assert the Tibetan people have a say in their own future.”

The Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Conflict Act, H.R. 533/S.138, seeks to empower the United States government to achieve its long-standing goal of helping Tibetans and PRC authorities peacefully resolve their differences through dialogue, according to a bill summary provided by the lawmakers, which notes that there has been no formal dialogue between the two since 2010.

Very little is said about Tibet and much less about the tragic story of the Panchen Lama, kidnapped by the Chinese government. He is second only to the Dalai Lama in spiritual authority and he is expected to reincarnate in a child. Following the death of the 10th Panchen Lama, a search was undertaken to discover his reincarnation. In 1995 the Dalai Lama recognized six-year-old Gedhun Choekyi Nyima as the 11th Panchen Lama, but this choice was rejected by the Chinese government, which took the boy into custody. Instead, the Chinese government "appointed" Gyancain Norbu the 11th Panchen Lama in late 1995.

This year, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima would be 34 years old. Three days after he was recognized the Chinese authorities abducted the Panchen Lama —a six-year-old child— and his parents, imprisoning them in an unknown location. Since then, nobody knows where he is, or even if he is alive, let alone whether under indoctrination he is even aware of his past or his important role in the future of Tibetan Buddhism.

In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Panchen Lama has traditionally played a role in the recognition of the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, just as the Dalai Lama, in turn, recognizes the Panchen Lama. China’s intentions here are brutally obvious. The Communist regime abducted the Panchen Lama recognized by the Dalai Lama and, against our spiritual process, selected a boy of their own so that they can hope to control the identification of the next Dalai Lama.

Meanwhile, the repression to achieve the complete subjugation of the Tibetan people and the eradication of their culture and national identity continues in force.

“The Taliban de facto authorities’ announcement banning Afghan women from working with the United Nations in Afghanistan is utterly despicable.

It is the latest in a series of steps taken that have eroded the rights and freedoms of Afghan women and girls – including a ban on girls attending school above the sixth grade, ban on university education for women and girls, restrictions on women’s freedom of movement in public spaces, orders regarding women’s clothing, banning women from working in the administration and commercial enterprises, and banning their employment in NGOs.
