La NO violencia |
|
–
La NO violencia no es la simple ausencia de violencia.
- La NO violencia es tener la oportunidad de hacer daño y abstenerse de hacerlo.
- Es el reflejo del amor y la compasión humanas; es tan inseparable como la bondad de la compasión.
SS El Dalai Lama
–
La violencia es el miedo a los ideales de los demás.

Granted to Ladies in White and to Suciwati Munir [ versión en español a continuación ]
New York, Nov.8.- Human Rights First, a US Human Rights Non Governmental Organization (NGO) granted their 2006 awards to the Cuban Ladies in White and to the Indonesian Suciwati Munir during their annual award dinner on 16 October 2006. This NGO promotes human rights all over the world since 1978.  Damas de Blanco (Ladies in White) were not allowed by the Cuban government to travel to New York where they were being honored. Further efforts after the dinner to get the exit permits from the authorities were in vain. None of the Ladies in White has been ever allowed to travel abroad, even when previously awarded the Sajarov Prize to Freedom of Conscience. They are the wives, mothers and close relatives of the activists, independent journalists, poets, librarians and writers who were jailed by the Cuban government during the severe crackdown on civil society in 2003. Despite threats and harassment, this group of women has been at the forefront of the struggle for human rights in Cuba. Each week, Damas de Blanco, dressed in white, walk in silent protest of the imprisonment of their husbands, sons and relatives.
 Munir Said Thalib, one of Indonesia's most courageous human rights advocates, was fatally poisoned with arsenic in September 2004, in retribution for his human rights work. Suciwati Munir, his wife, has fought for accountability for her husband's murder - despite threats against her life intended to end her campaign to bring Munir's killers to justice. Suciwati has continued her husband's work, encouraging victims of human rights violations to call for justice on their own behalf.
