La agencia misionera vaticana Asianews publicó hoy en su página de Internet las fotos de un monje budista asesinado en Myanmar (antigua Birmania), realizadas en un tanatorio y con claros signos de haber sido torturado.Asianews explicó que las fotos, realizadas en secreto en un tanatorio birmano, les llegaron desde el país a través de un mensaje en el que se les pedía su publicación.
En el mensaje se instaba a la publicación de las dos fotografías 'para que el mundo sepa lo que está pasando y que sirve algo más que una condena a estos bastados de la Junta militar', que gobierna el país.'Pensad que muchos otros monjes han sufrido el mismo destino', añade el mensaje, que acompaña a las fotos que muestran el cuerpo lleno de heridas y hematomas de un monje budista de unos 50 años.
La agencia misionera señaló que estas fotos representan 'la vergüenza' ante el 'falso' intento de la Junta militar de reconciliarse con los monjes budistas.Pero también expresó su 'vergüenza' por la opinión pública occidental, que ha pensado que 'la violencia de los militares era sólo para reprimir algunas manifestaciones, cuando se trata de un sistema que asesina y esclaviza a una población de casi 50 millones de personas'.
Y la 'vergüenza' por 'la Organización de las Naciones Unidas y la comunidad internacional, que no encuentra instrumentos eficaces para garantizar la democracia de un pueblo que la ha elegido desde hace tiempo'.Desde de que las fuerzas de seguridad acallaron a tiros y a golpes las manifestaciones pacíficas del pasado septiembre, los monasterios son vigilados e inspeccionados regularmente, y la Policía restringe la salida de los monjes a la calle, según diferentes versiones de residentes en Rangún.
régimen de Myanmar admite que diez personas murieron durante la represión de las protestas y unos 3.000 manifestantes fueron arrestados, aunque fuentes de la disidencia calculan que el número de muertos se acerca a los 200 y que los detenidos superan ampliamente los 6.000.

MYANMARTHE HORRENDOUS PHOTOS OF SHAME
“Dear friends, words fail me. These photos of a murdered monk were taken in secret in a mortuary. Just think of how many more have been subjected to the same destiny. I beg you to make these images known to as many people as possible, so that the world knows that simple condemnation of these bastards [the junta] is not enough”.
With this enraged cry, through Burmese exiles, these two photos have made their way to us, which we have decided to publish along with this warning: these are cruel and violent images, perhaps not suitable for all of our readers.
But they are the photos of shame:
1) The junta’s shame; today it is broadcasting across the globe its “inept” attempts at reconciliation with the Buddhist monks, forcing them to accept gifts. But because the Monastery leaders have forbidden their Bonzi to do so, the military has stage a farce with false monks for a false reconciliation.
The junta is trying to make the Buddhist authorities understand the repression was “necessary”. But these photos mock every good intention, demand that forgiveness is sought and a radical change take place in the country. According to diplomatic sources, this latest repression by Myanmar’s military – which defines itself as being socialist and secular, but seeks the monk’s support in order to continue its dominance – has cost the lives of hundreds and the arrest and detention of over 6 thousand.
2) Our shame; because beyond scattered mutterings condemning the scandal of the military’s violence, in the end we really believed that it was just a case of yet another repression of a few demonstrators, when instead it is a system which murders, slaughters, enslaves a population of 50 million people.
3) The UN and the international community’s shame; which are unable to find effective means of guaranteeing democracy to a people who chose democracy a long time ago. The problem is that soft diplomacy is being used in dealings with the junta, where instead we need to give a voice to global civil society to face what is an outright humanitarian emergency
The International Red Cross needs to gain access to Myanmar to visit its prisons; the UN labour office to visit the slaves of forced labour; NGO’s need access to help the population decimated poverty imposed by the Junta’s dominance of the economy with China Thailand and India.
Pope Benedict XVI asked the world to pray for the people of Myanmar and for the “painful trial” that they are being placed under, very similar to the martyrdom of the Blessed Innocents who, without realising it, witnessed Christ at the cost of their own blood, spilled by the furry of a beastly power.
