SOS Nepal!

Ontem, havia a esperanca de que Abril iria significar tambem no Nepal, Liberdade e Democracia.
Infelizmente, assim ainda o nao foi.
A cor nao regressou 'as vidas dos Nepalenses!
O negro e o cinza abatem-se de forma cada vez mais pesada misturando-se com um vermelho indesejado e tragico.

UN rights investigators condemn Nepal's use of force

GENEVA, April 20 (Reuters) - United Nations human rights investigators on Thursday condemned "excessive and deadly use of force" by Nepal's security forces against protestors and called for the government to exercise restraint.
In a joint statement, the five special rapporteurs also asked demonstrators to act peacefully, noting some had attacked police with stones and other projectiles.
Nepali police on Thursday opened fire to block tens of thousands of pro-democracy protestors marching into Kathmandu to confront King Gyanendra, killing at least three people and wounding up to 100.
"We strongly condemn the excessive and deadly use of force by members of the security forces against protestors and innocent bystanders," the U.N. investigators said in a statement issued in Geneva.
"The law enforcement agencies have resorted to indiscriminate firing of rubber bullets -- even on occasion live ammunition -- into crowds, beatings, raids on homes and destruction of property," it said.
Women, children, journalists and lawyers were identified among the casualties -- which came as police were enforcing a strict curfew in the capital -- according to the statement.

Porquê fazer sofrer quem nao tem culpa?
Quantos inocentes mais terao de perder a vida, para que um ditador compreenda o valor da liberdade?!
Por quanto tempo mais tera' o povo do Nepal sofrer, antes da intervencao da UN?!......
